Question

Which enzyme is not secreted by the pancreas?
(A) Amylase
(B) Trypsin
(C) Renin
(D)Lipase

Answer 1

Hint: The pancreas is a six-inch-long gland located in the abdomen. It is surrounded by the stomach, small intestine, liver, spleen, and gallbladder and has the shape of a flat pear.It is a gland that is located in the abdomen behind the stomach in humans. Both an endocrine and a digestive exocrine function is performed by the pancreas.

Complete answer:
Pancreatic hormones regulate blood sugar and hunger, increase stomach acids, and inform your stomach when it's time to empty.

To break down foods, the pancreas produces pancreatic enzymes, which are natural fluids produced by the pancreas. Ducts carry these liquids through your pancreas. They empty into the duodenum, which is the upper part of your small intestine. Your pancreas produces roughly 8 ounces of digestive juice per day, which is rich in enzymes. The following are the several enzymes:

1.Lipase is a digestive enzyme. This enzyme breaks down fat in your meals in conjunction with bile produced by your liver. Your body will have problems absorbing fat and critical fat-soluble vitamins if you don't have enough lipase (A, D, E, K). Diarrhoea and fatty bowel motions are signs of inadequate fat absorption.

2.Protease (such as trypsin and chymotrypsin) : This enzyme aids in the digestion of proteins in your diet. It also aids in the protection of your intestines from germs such as bacteria and yeast. Proteins that have not been digested can trigger allergic reactions in some persons.

3.Amylase is a digestive enzyme. This enzyme aids in the conversion of starches to sugar, which your body may use as fuel. Undigested carbs might cause diarrhoea if you don't have enough amylase.

The pancreas produces hormones that help regulate your body's metabolism around 5% of the time. Several distinct cells in the pancreas clump together like small islands (islets) to produce these hormones. The islets are known as islets of Langerhans, and there are around one million of them in adult pancreas.

Hormones produced by cells in the pancreas's islets of Langerhans include:

- Insulin is a hormone that aids in the regulation of blood sugar levels.
- Glucagon - a hormone that works with insulin to keep blood sugar levels stable.
- Somatostatin - a hormone that regulates the release of other hormones.
- Gastrin is a hormone that aids digestion in the stomach.

Renin is an enzyme secreted by the kidney (and possibly also by the placenta) that functions as part of a physiological system that regulates blood pressure. Renin in the blood interacts with a protein called angiotensinogen, resulting in the release of angiotensin I.

The correct answer is option (C) i.e, Renin.

Note: Diabetes mellitus will develop in the absence of the pancreas due to a lack of insulin in the body. As a result, you'll have to do one or more of the following:
- take an enzyme replacement supplement
- receive insulin injections, adhere to a diabetic diet, and exercise on a regular basis
