How the Body Works : The Pancreas

[LesterAmont]

I too have noticed how much better i feel after a fresh meal

[GordonMorrice]

What happens after the enzymes leaves the pancreas?

[LesterAmont]

@GordonMorrice The enzymes travel down the pancreatic duct as zymogens (inactivated enzymes) to the Duodenum which is the first part of the small intestine. Here they are activated and facilitate the digestion of protiens, lipids, nucleic acids and carbohydrates so that the Small Intestine can absorb some 90% of nutrients which are found in the food we eat. I think Krak the Quacktastic Cracker at krakrocks.bandcamp.com knows how to make this knowledge into melody.

@LesterAmont A most magnificent reply! Which foods do you eat?I want to eat ony good food but I love alcoholic drinks, Chinese food, Indian food. Is there a way for me?

[LesterAmont]

@GordonMorrice glad you liked it, it took me a little while. Not too sure about how the food reacts. I will say this: alcohol and most other drugs/toxins are processed in your liver cause they hit your blood stream shortly after your stomach, alcohol in particular is water soluble and jumps the membranes of the small intestine without any enzyme interaction. Foods which are fresh and raw contain nutrients which are readily absorbed, I try to eat these but also enjoy those foods and alcohol

[GordonMorrice]

@LesterAmont Great reply! I had read that booze gets processed ahead of other edibles but your post makes that clearer, so thanks! I have started seeming out, even politely demanding fresh shit as it's so obvious that the more of that primordial grub I eat then then better I feel! Feels good man!

[GordonMorrice]

@LesterAmont BIG advice, brother! Thanks a trillion! I need to get healthy and vibrant. Thanks for the better perspective!

digestive juice is alkaline?  this is a case against cola's which seem to break down heavy food like pizza cheese.

Spleen not needed PANCREAS very much so

[duaa4eva]

umm pretty gd!

[tvraids]

You're thinking of the appendix. I'm pretty sure you'd digest your small intestine pretty quick without your pancreas.

[gj21j216]

do Pancreas & Spleen are important part of our body ??

because i have lost both in an accident 20%of Pancreas & a full Spleen..

so it is nice or not ? plz guide me

[sumwutkunfusd]

I would think so. My friend died from pancreas cancer.

so, yeah, it most likely is important.

not sure of the spleen o.o

[lamoleverde]

Even though spleen has a lot of functions you can live without it.

Many of its functions are made by other organs

[ZbassDJ]

Ah, dude, withouth pancreas, u would not produce insulin, and the lack of it would make u a diabetic... then thats a problem!

[gj21j216]

dude i lost full spleen and 30% of pancreas in an accident but i am lucky i have been survived and living healthy life without and diabetic problems

[5dragons2]

U can live withoutth a spleen :3 idk about a pancreas

[bustergmaxx]

cheers :)_

[mucik]

what if u were stroke, and had diabetis, and ur pancreas is in above average, is that just fine?

[joetwostepmd]

question not phrased in an appropriate way to answer.

[mucik]

no problem, i was not sure of what i was asking about either, im no medical and stuff, but its all good. just found out in the doc that it is not connected to it, i was just curios that time cause of some situation,

[juankfcb]

el video esa muy bien! pero hay un error! el pancras no secreta enzimas, secreta proenzimas, porq de secretar proenzimas se autodigeriria.

[ramtinking]

cool!

[marijumango]

i love my pancereas!

[cfc4rlife8]

@marijumango penis? :D

[gronnslett]

I don't get it!

[gogomaverick]

Thanks

in type II (non-insulin dependent) people begin to develop insulin resistance, i.e. body cells don't respond to insulin and take up glucose from the blood, so initially theres no apparent abornmality in the islets. however as the disease progresses, the B cells increase their insulin secretion because the blood glucose remains high, and eventually they sort of wear themselves out.
