    Pancreas

    The pancreas is an endocrine and digestive organ that secretes hormones (including insulin) and enzymes that pass into the small intestine. Its importance is often underestimated.

    Isn't the pancreas the most underrated organ?

    It does so many things (like make insulin) and nobody gives it the respect it deserves.

    Yeah but you can manage without a functioning pancreas.... you can manually do what your pancreas does (diabetics do it all the time, watching their blood sugar, injecting insulin, etc.)

    If your kidneys, liver, lungs, heart, etc. stop working, you're toast. No way to manage that shit.

    I think the skin is very underrated if you ask me.

    Yes, but pancreas awareness is groing each day since Weird Al released that pancreas song. It is threads like this, started by pancreas conscious people like you, that will make a difference in changing the public's view of the beloved pancreas.

    Don't take your pancreas for granted, there are people in Africa that don't even have a pancreas, THAT is why they don't know it's christmans.

    Have love in your pancreas, donate today.
