Summary Introduction
To write:
The pancreas contains both the exocrine and endocrine tissue. The role of this tissue in other organs.
Introduction:
Hormones can be defined as chemical substances that are produced in the body which regulates the action of some cells or organs. Many hormones are released by special glands such as the thyroid hormone that is formed by the thyroid gland.

In order to allow the diffusion of islet beta cells encapsulated within the medical scaffold into the pancreas to provide a functional pancreas, which material would be ideal for that out of collagen, fibrin, and silk?
r
This glandular tissue resembles that of the salivary gland (clusters of zymogenic cells). What feature unique to the
pancreas would help you to distinguish it from the salivary gland?
[Hint: The pancreas serves two main systems in the body, what are they? Special "structures" in this tissue control this
other function.]

- A general principle of physiology is that structure is a determinant of—and has coevolved with—function. One example highlighted in this chapter is the large surface area provided by the villous and microvillous structure of the cells lining the small intestinearrow_forwardAt the hospital, Jake was diagnosed as suffering from pancreatitis, which affects the function of his pancreas. Explain how the digestion of major nutrients (carbohydrates, proteins and fats) maybe impacted if the pancreas is unable to function normally. (Include the enzymes and processes that are involved)arrow_forwardThe pancreas is subdivided into an endocrine portion that secretes substances like somatostatin, and an exocrine portion that secretes substances like procarboxypeptidase? True or falsearrow_forward
- The exocrine glands in the pancreas are (a) simple tubular, (b) simple acinar, (c) compound tubular, (d) compound acinar, (e) compound tubuloalveolar.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about the pancreas is correct? Select one: A. Pancreatic duct cells are enzyme- producing cells. B. There are more exocrine cells than endocrine cells in the pancreas. C. Acinar cells are responsible for the production of bicarbonate ions. D. Pancreatic juice is produced by the islets of Langerhans. E. Trypsinogen in pancreatic juice can digest proteins into amino acids.arrow_forwardHello, I do not understand this. May I get help with this physiology question? Steps leading to the correct answer would be helpful. Question: Pierre G. just accidentally ingested a substance in the lab that he shouldn't have (that's what he gets for eating in the lab!). He quickly googles what to expect, and he sees that the substance blocks the Na+/K+ pumps on the basolateral membrane of his small intestine's enterocytes. Yikes! He asks you, his favorite physiologist, what to expect. You tell Pierre the most likely outcome is… (see image)arrow_forward
- Jake was having dinner at home with his family after coming back from work. While enjoying his favorite pizza and pasta dishes, he started to feel nauseous and felt pain at his left-upper abdominal region. His family sent him to the emergency department for further checks to determine the problem. At the hospital, Jake was diagnosed as suffering from pancreatitis, which affects the function of his pancreas. Explain how the digestion of major nutrients (carbohydrates, proteins and fats) maybe impacted if the pancreas is unable to function normally. (Include the enzymes and processes that are involved)arrow_forwardDescribe what happens if the food that reaches the duodenum contains a lot of fat and a lot of protein. The answer must state, among other things: How is Gastric emptying − Hydrochloric acid secretion − Bile release − Pancreatic release (exocrine)s are affected by the respective stimuli (fat and protein) and how (ie increases or decreases the activity). What type of cell senses stimuli and how these cells react. The different signaling pathways (including the neurotransmitters involved) that control the different mechanisms affected by the respective stimuli. Feel free to drawarrow_forwardThe principal function for intestinal goblet cells is: Select one: t of a. secreting digestive enzyme. b. absorbing nutrients. C. secreting one of several various hormones. d. secreting mucus.arrow_forward
- As chyme enters the duodenum the intestinal cells release hormones. One hormone, gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP), makes the pancreas release insulin. Why does this make sense?arrow_forwardExplain why the pancreas is considered both an exocrine and an endocrine gland. Given this information, predict what effects tying of the pancreatic duct would have on pancreatic structure and functionarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements concerning the region/structure marked by the (*) is a true statement? 1. The material indicated by the (*) is identified as 'dentin'. 2. This region of the tooth is identified as the 'crown' and is covered by the same surface material as the 'neck' of the tooth. 3. The material indicated by the (*) is living tissue - contains active cells. 4. If this region (*) is partially eroded, best dental practice is to put in place a dental filling. Choose from the following: (A) 1, 2, 3, and 4 (B) 2, 3, and 4 (C) 1, 2, and 3 (D) 2 and 3 (E) only 2 (F) 1 and 2 (G) No answer text provided.arrow_forward
