| fibrocystic disease of the pancreas | <chest medicine> A generalised disorder of infants, children and young adults, in which there is widespread dysfunction of the exocrine glands, characterised by signs of chronic pulmonary disease (due to excess mucus production in the respiratory tract), pancreatic deficiency, abnormally high levels of electrolytes in the sweat and occasionally by biliary cirrhosis. There is an ineffective immunologic defense against bacteria in the lungs. Pathologically, the pancreas shows obstruction of the pancreatic ducts by amorphous eosinophilic concretions, with consequent deficiency of pancreatic enzymes, resulting in steatorrhoea and azotorrhoea and intestinal malabsorption. The degree of involvement of organs and glandular systems may vary greatly, with consequent variations in the clinical picture. Inheritance: autosomal recessive. (13 Nov 1997) |

| pancreas |
Gland that is positioned behind the stomach. The pancreas produces enzymes that are used in digestion, and also produces the hormones insulin and glucagon, which help to control the body’s blood sugar level.

| pancreas |
The pancreas is a grayish-pink gland. Weighing about three ounces and measuring six to nine inches. It extends posteriorly from the small intestine to the spleen. The pancreas functions both as an endocrine and exocrine gland. The greater part of the tissue is composed of endocrine cells arranged in a group called islets of langerhans.. With the islets, there are alpha cells which secrete glucagon and beta cells which secrete insulin. ...
