The pancreas is a gland that lies in the abdomen behind the stomach. It is part of the digestive and endocrine system of vertebrates producing enzymes that are released into the small intestine to help with digestion. It also produces hormones by clusters of cells called islets. such as insulin and glucagon, which help control the level of glucose in the blood.
