pancreas. P., Lesser, a small partially detached 

 portion of the gland, lying posteriorly to its head and 

 having occasionally a separate duct which opens into 

 pancreatic duct proper. P., Little. Same as P. , 

 ser. P.-ptyalin, an amylolytic ferment secreted 

 the pancreas ; amylopsin. P., Small, a glandu- 

 mass frequently found under the true pancreas, 

 similar in structure. P. Winslowii. Same as 

 Lesser. 



Pancreatalgia (pan-kre-at-al' '-je-ah) [irag , all ; Kpeag, 

 flesh ; a? -.or, pain]. Pain in the pancreas. 



Pancreatectomy (pan-kre-at-ek'-to-me) [~ag t all; 

 Kpear, flesh ; tKrour/, excision]. Excision of a portion 

 or all of the pancreas. 



ancreatemphraxis (pan-kre-at-em-fraks'-is) [n-dc, 

 all; Kpeag, flesh; euqpa^ig, stoppage]. Obstruction 

 of the pancreatic duct. 



ancreathelcosis (pan-kre-ath-el-ko'-sis) [Vac, all ; 

 Kpeag, flesh ; efacuaig, ulceration]. Ulceration of the 

 pancreas. 



Pancreatic ( pan-kre-at' -ik) [~ag, all ; Kpkag, flesh]. 

 Pertaining to the pancreas. P. Duct, the efferent 



j duct carrying the secretions of the pancreas to the 



■ intestines ; it is also known as the duct of Wirsung. See 

 Duct. P. Fluid, or Juice, the fluid secreted by the 

 pancreas. It is thick, transparent, colorless, odorless, 

 of a salty taste, and strongly alkaline. By heat it is 

 coagulated into a white mass, from the presence of 

 serum-albumin. Its composition is water 900.8, and 

 solids 99.2. Of the latter, 90.4 are organic matter, and 

 8.8 inorganic matter. The ash from iooo parts of 

 juice yields soda 0. 58 ; sodium chlorid 7.35; potassium 

 chlorid 0.02 ; phosphates of alkaline earths and iron 

 0.53 ; sodium phosphate 0.01 ; lime and magnesia 0.32. 

 Traces of leucin and soaps are present in the fresh 

 juice. The ferments or enzymes, four in number, that 

 it contains give to it its important digestive power. 

 Its diastatic action is due to amylopsin ; its tryptic 

 or proteolytic action results from the presence of trypsin; 

 its action on fats is due to the presence of steapsin, 

 which causes the fats to split up into glycerin and the 

 corresponding fatty acids ; and, finally, it contains a 

 milk-curdling ferment.
