The Pancreas and Diabetes Explained

Hello, my viewers. It has been somewhere like two weeks since we've last recorded

The endocrine system produces hormones. It's, uh, the system that

produces hormones. The pancreas produces two very important hormones: insulin and glucagon.

Insulin helps your cel- takes uh, sugar from the blood to, uh,

liver cells, and glucagon takes the sugar from your cells to, uh,

your bloodstream if your blood sugar drops. So the pancreas is pretty important.
