A disease that produces tumors in this organ can result in a dangerously high production of HCl in the stomach and is known as Zollinger- Ellison syndrome. The omental tuber joins the main body of this organ to its "neck" which is in turn separated from its (*) "uncinate process" by a namesake notch. This organ is connected to the bile duct via the Duct of Wirsung and this organ's namesake polypeptide hormone is inhibited by another of this organ's hormones. That hormone acts against the effects of HGH, gastrin and secretin, is produced by this organ's delta cells and is called somatostatin. Emptying into the duodenum, for 10 points, name this organ that produces chemicals like glucagon from its beta and alpha cells of the Islets of Langerhans, also the site of insulin production.
