Pancreas+Researcher+2

Mantee Williams

Mantee, you need to show your work ON this page. Simply writing "Done :)" isn't going to cut it.
You and your group will be responsible for putting together a defensive presentation of an endocrine gland. You and your group will be giving this presentation during class. Your presentation must include: · A picture(s) of the gland showing its shape and location in the human body. Last but not least (Well kinda is least ;D) Done :)  · The hormone(s) produced by your endocrine gland. Done :) · The stimulus that tells your gland to produce hormones.Done :)  · The control mechanism that tells your gland to stop producing hormones. Done :) · The function(s) of the hormone(s) produced by your gland. What are the target organs/cells and how does the message carried by the hormone help maintain homeostasis. **This is probably the most important part of your presentation.** Done :)
 * Task:**

**The pancreas's job is to keep you from getting diabetes. If it is nonfunctional or not in use it can cause you to get diabetes, or not have enough sugar in your blood. It obtains this maintenance by adding insulin or glucagon depending on if your blood sugar is too high or low.** **Possible pancreatic issues are:** Symptoms: Trauma Hereditary factors Consumption of Alcohol Consumption of Drugs Presence of blood fats Gallbladder Disorder pain in the abdominal Area Vomiting Rapid Pulse Rate Fever Low Blood Pressure Dehydration
 * Chronic Pancreatitis

Treatment Of Pancreatis: If only acute, then the pacient will be hospitalized and given an IV(intravenous) and not fed for 3-7 days to give the pancreas time to heal and not be disturbed by any passing of food. If chronic, then the pacient will be treated the same way but will also have to make some diet changes. this includes eating less fatty foods and stopping alcohol intake. If pacient consumes any aclohol, it will most likely cause extreme pain and if they consume too much, it may even cause death.
 * Pancreatic Cancer
 * Pancreatic Tumor
 * Diabetes mellitus

All together the Pancreas secretes **insulin, amylin, glucagon,** **somatostatin**, and polypeptide which the use of is unclear and is also a good reason why the pancreas should not be removed. this exocrine could be crucial to maintaining homeostasis and if removed may cause complications. The only known affect of this is a decrease in appetite.

Insulin is triggered by a rise of glucose in the body and it's function is to make the body use up the glucose and convert it into different other things that the body uses.

Amylin is triggered by a fall of glucose which is caused by the Insulin. So it's function is to reverse that effect and make the glucose levels go back up. It is also what makes glucagon be produced and slows food digestion.

When the Amylin produces the glucagon, it causes the liver to turn the glucagon into glucose and turn fats and proteins into intermediate metabolitesd which are eventually turned into glucose as well.

Somatostatine's general purpose is to slow the rate that food is digested in the intestines.
