LIVER PANCREAS AND DUODENUM

The liver, pancreas, and duodenum play crucial roles in the digestive system. The liver, the largest internal organ, is responsible for producing bile, which aids in the digestion of fats, and it also filters toxins from the blood. The pancreas, located behind the stomach, has both endocrine and exocrine functions; it secretes insulin and glucagon to regulate blood sugar levels and produces digestive enzymes that help break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. The duodenum, the first part of the small intestine, receives bile from the liver and digestive enzymes from the pancreas, playing a pivotal role in the digestion and absorption of nutrients. Together, these organs facilitate the intricate process of digestion, ensuring that our bodies can efficiently utilize the nutrients from the food we consume. Understanding their functions highlights the complexity of the digestive system and its importance to overall health.
