Pancreas - a small internal organ with an index finger. And what impact is the pancreas on the body?

In addition to pancreatic juice, the pancreas produces also insulin - the most valuable hormone, which goes straight into the blood. Thus, this organ simultaneously performs two important features: promotes digestion and regulates blood sugar levels.
