Explanation

The pancreas is an elongated, flat gland located behind the stomach, and it plays an important role in digestion and glucose regulation. Despite its relatively small size, the pancreas is the second largest gland in the human body after the liver. It secretes digestive enzymes and hormones such as insulin and glucagon, which help to regulate blood sugar levels. Dysfunction of the pancreas can lead to serious health problems, including diabetes and pancreatic cancer.
