what is a function of the pancreas?
a. produce vitamins
b. detoxify the body
c. absorb minerals
d. blood glucose management

Explanation:

The pancreas has two main functions: exocrine (producing digestive enzymes) and endocrine (producing hormones like insulin and glucagon). Insulin lowers blood glucose levels, and glucagon raises them. So, blood glucose management is a key function.

• Option a: Producing vitamins is not a function of the pancreas.
• Option b: Detoxifying the body is mainly the liver's role.
• Option c: Absorbing minerals is mainly done by the small intestine.

Answer:

d. blood glucose management
