The pancreas is a large gland lying across the posterior abdominal wall. It has two types of secretions, enzymic and hormonal. It is composed of the head, body, and tail. The head of the pancreas is cradled in the curve of the duodenum. The exocrine duct from the pancreas joins with the common bile duct to form the ampulla of Vater- which empties into the duodenum through the sphincter of Oddi. The exocrine or pancreatic enzymes serve to:

Neutralize the acid from the stomach (water and alkaline salts)
Split fats (lipase)
Split starch to maltose (amylose)
Split proteins (trypsinogen plus enterokinase; produces trypsin for this purpose)
Complete protein digestion (peptidase)

The endocrine or internal secretions are produced by the islets of Langerhans. The hormones insulin and glucagon are absorbed by capillaries which carry these hormones to the bloodstream for systemic circulation.
Liver and Gallbladder

The liver is situated in the upper right quadrant of the abdominal...
