What are the functions of pancreas?

The pancreas can increase blood sugar, reduce blood sugar, and help digestion.

1. Raise blood sugar. The

pancreas can secrete glucagon, which can promote the decomposition of glycogen, leading to increased glucose released into the blood by the liver, and then cause blood sugar to rise.

2. Reduce blood sugar.

After eating, blood sugar rises. The pancreas can secrete insulin, which can reduce blood sugar concentration.

3. Help digestion. The

pancreas is a digestive organ that can help decompose nutrients such as protein, fat, and sugar, and promote the absorption of nutrients.
