A few home remedies, carefully applied, can keep fleas off your dogs. Check your home for fleas. Adult fleas will appear as small black dots about the size of a pinhead. Set a bowl of soapy water under a night light overnight. In the morning, you will notice a number of little black spots in the bowl if you have fleas.
The pancreas, with its ducts leading into the top of the small intestine, plays a crucial role in digestion by secreting enzymes that cut apart large nutrient molecules, making smaller molecules that can be absorbed into the bloodstream through the walls of the intestines.
The pancreas lies beneath the stomach and is connected to the small intestine at the duodenum (see digestive system). The pancreas contains enzyme producing cells that secrete two hormones. The two hormones are insulin and glucagon. Insulin and glucagon are secreted directly into the bloodstream, and together, they regulate the level of glucose in the blood.
