Question

pancreas n.胰脏 (1) 我当时甚至不知道胰脏究竟是什么。(2) 摘要肾细胞癌很少转移到胰脏。 Although the stomach gets the most of the credit for digesting food, it has a helper — the pancreas. The pancreas hides behind your stomach and helps digest and absorb nutrients, and it also helps you maintain a healthy blood sugar level by secreting insulin. This dual function makes the pancreas part endocrine (for the insulin) and part exocrine (for the digestive juices). These two functions make the pancreas important, but you can actually live without it.
