Answer:
The pancreas is an organ located in the abdomen, below and behind the stomach that has a double function:
Endocrine secretion: it produces hormones like insulin and glucagon, as will be seen in the topic of the endocrine system.
Exocrine secretion: produces pancreatic juice, which together with bile mixes with intestinal juice to form chyle.
The liver forms the bile that is stored in the gallbladder.
The bile does not contain enzymes, but bile sales that emulsify fats, leaving them as small droplets that can be attacked by digestive juices.

SOMETHING YOU WILL NEED TO KNOW
The liver is the largest gland in the body, weighing about three pounds in an adult. It is also one of the most important organs. In addition to being an accessory digestive organ, it plays a number of roles in metabolism and regulation. The liver lies inferior to the diaphragm in the right upper quadrant of the abdominal cavity and receives protection from the surrounding ribs.
