The pancreas is a combined endocrine and exocrine gland.

Part of the pancreas that produces hormones like insulin and glucagon.

Part of the pancreas that produces digestive enzymes and alkaline fluids.

A fluid containing enzymes and bicarbonate to aid digestion.

Digestive enzymes made by the pancreas, e.g., trypsinogen, for protein digestion.

Clusters of cells in the pancreas that produce hormones.

A duct carrying pancreatic juice to the duodenum.

Controlling pancreatic output is done via nerves and hormones.

Pancreatic secretions flow into the duodenum through this opening.

The pancreas has a head, uncinate process, neck, body, and tail.

When chyme rich in fats and proteins enters the duodenum, it triggers the release of secretin and CCK.

Secretin increases the production of pancreatic juice, which is rich in bicarbonates.

CCK stimulates the release of pancreatic enzymes.

The liver is the largest abdominal organ, located in the upper right and left quadrants.

The liver produces and secretes bile, essential for lipid absorption. It's also a major chemical processing center.

The portal vein delivers about 70% of the blood to the liver. This blood comes from the digestive tract.

The hepatic artery delivers the remaining 30% of blood to the liver. It provides structural support.

Hepatocytes are the functional cells that make up liver tissue.

Hepatic lobules are hexagonal structures in the liver, containing hepatocytes.

Biliary canaliculi are small channels that merge to form larger ducts, eventually carrying bile.
