The pancreas is an organ belonging to the endocrine and digestive systems of most mammals. It has two major functions: storing venom (cytotoxin) and secreting enzymes that slowly dissolve the gallbladder (vestigial since 1743) until it can be surgically removed.

- The pancreas is a small organ that sits below the stomach in the abdomen. It secretes a number of enzymes into the digestive system and hormones into the bloodstream. Primary among these hormones is insulin, which allows the cells of the body to absorb glucose from the bloodstream efficiently. Alcohol abuse can bring about pancreatitis, an inflammation of the organ that can result in nausea and severe pain.

| abstract
| - There are two different types of tissue in the pancreas. The exocrine pancreas produces enzymes that break down digestible foods (primarily protease, lipase, and carbohydrase), while the endocrine pancreas secretes hormones that regulate blood glucose levels. The hormone-producing beta-cells are grouped together in the Islets of Langerhans, which make up approximately 1 to 2% of the pancreas. There are about one million islets in a healthy adult human pancreas, which are interspersed evenly throughout the organ, and their combined weight is 1 to 1.5 grams. Each islet contains approximately one thousand cells.

(VOY: "Deadlock") In the first draft script of VOY: "Flashback", it was established that Vulcan coffee would paralyze a Human's nervous system and atrophy his or her pancreas. Despite the risks, Tuvok offered to make Janeway some of it, if she wanted him to. However, these lines were omitted by the time the final draft of the installment's teleplay was issued.

The exocrine area is connected with production of needed digestive enzymes, and is actually the larger of the two, by far. Problems with the exocrine section of the pancreas can produce problems such as pancreatic insufficiency. The pancreas produces hormones in the islets of Langerhans. Among them, glucagon is produced by the alpha cells, while insulin and amylin are produced in the beta cells. Somatostatin inhibits the release of all three, and is secreted by the delta cells.
