The pancreas is an organ of the digestive system and endocrine system of vertebrates. In humans, it is located in the abdomen behind the stomach and functions as a gland. The pancreas is a mixed or heterocrine gland, i.e., it has both an endocrine and a digestive exocrine function. [2] 99% of the pancreas is exocrine and 1% is endocrine.

The isthmus (also called the central pancreas) is the region of the gland that runs anterior to the superior mesenteric artery; by convention, it divides the right and left sides of the pancreas. [2] The ventral pancreatic bud forms the pancreatic head and uncinate process. The glands continue to develop but the duct systems anastomose.
Seven-man line defenses use seven down linemen on the line of scrimmage. The most common seven-man line defenses were the 7–2–2 defense and the 7–1–2–1 defense. They were most common before the forward pass became prevalent, but were still common prior to the inception of the platoon system. They are still sometimes used in goal-line ...
The ductal pancreas network originates from the central pancreatic duct—this main duct with the bile duct opens into the duodenum. The ductal cells of the main pancreatic duct are bound by connective tissue and produce a columnar epithelium. [3] Interlobular ducts originate from the main pancreatic duct and connect the various pancreatic lobes.
The 4–1–3–2 is a variation of the 4–1–2–1–2 and features a strong and talented defensive centre midfielder. This allows the remaining three midfielders to play further forward and more aggressively, and also allows them to pass back to their defensive mid when setting up a play or recovering from a counterattack.
PaSCs are located within the peri-acinar spaces of the pancreas and extrude long cytoplasmic processes that surround the base of the acinus. [2] PaSCs compose 4% of the total cell mass in the gland [4] Stellate cells derive their name from their star shape and are located in other organs such as the kidney and lungs. [2]
The pancreas is controlled by both the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system, although the method these two systems use to control the pancreas appears to be different. [8] Sympathetic control of the pancreas appears to originate from the sympathetic preganglionic fibers in the lower thoracic and lumbar spinal cord. [9]
