有关Pancreatitis的常用医学词汇

The pancreas ( 胰腺  /ˈpæŋ.kri.əs/ )has dual roles - it is an organ of the digestive system and of the endocrine (内分泌 /ˈen.də.krin/)system. The exocrine ( 外分泌)pancreas produces enzymes (酶/ˈen.zaim/ )that help to digest food, particularly protein. The endocrine pancreas makes the hormone insulin, which helps to control blood sugar levels.
