Include Digestive Glands Conditions information on your My EmpowHer page
Sub-Conditions
The pancreas, liver and gall bladder are considered glands because they produce and secrete substances, in this case digestive enzymes that pass into the small intestine to help breakdown food. The pancreas and liver provide other key functions in the body, so infection or injury to either of these organs can have a widespread effect on your general health.
