A prominence called the o
A prominence called the omental tuber exists where the anterior surface meets the neck of this structure. Another part of this organ is the duct of Wirstung which empties into the Ampulla of Vater. The inactive molecule trypsinogen is produced within this gland which is converted into the digestive enzyme trypsin by CCK from the small intestine. The epsilon cells of this organ produce ghrelin while the delta cells of this gland secrete a hormone that inhibits the production of growth hormone and the release of digestive molecules, somatostatin. The location of the islets of Langerhans, fpr ten points, identify this organ known for producing the hormones glucagon and insulin.
