پەنکریاس
A gland behind the stomach that releases insulin and digestive enzymes.
The pancreas is an important organ that releases insulin into the blood to regulate glucose sugar. At the same time it makes strong enzymes that help the intestines break down protein, fat and starch. A problem in how the pancreas works, or a drop in the effect of insulin in the body, can lead to diabetes.
«The insulin the body needs is made by the pancreas to keep the blood sugar level steady.»
