Subconjunctival Hemorrhage Overview. The conjunctiva is the thin, moist, transparent membrane that covers the white part of the eye (called the sclera) and the inside of the eyelids. The conjunctiva is the outermost protective coating of the eyeball. The conjunctiva contains nerves and many small blood vessels. These blood vessels are usually barely visible but become larger and more visible if the eye is inflamed. These blood vessels are somewhat fragile, and their walls may break easily, resulting in a subconjunctival hemorrhage (bleeding under the conjunctiva).
Step 3. Eat foods that contain folate, lycopene and healthy fat, such as olive oil. A variety of diseases and disorders can impair pancreas function. The pancreas secretes insulin, a hormone that plays an integral role in digestion.
Enzymes, or digestive juices, produced by the pancreas are secreted into the small intestine to further break down food after it has left the stomach. The gland also produces the hormone insulin and secretes it into the bloodstream in order to regulate the body's glucose or sugar level. It is an important part of the digestive system, producing enzymes and hormones that help break down foods. 2  The pancreas is a 6 to 10 inch organ and is located behind the stomach. 3  It is fish shaped and extends horizontally across the abdomen.
