Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas that may be brought on by years of heavy consumption of alcohol or gall stones. The pancreas is a large gland behind the stomac â¦ h and close to the duodenum. The duodenum is the upper part of the small intestine.
It secretes digestive juices into the small intestine through a tube called the pancreatic duct. The pancreas also releases the hormones insulin and glucagon into the bloodstream. Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas. It happens when digestive enzymes start digesting the pancreas itself. Pancreatitis can be acute or chronic. Either form is serious and can lead to complications. Acute pancreatitis occurs suddenly and usually goes away in a few days with treatment.
