Talk:Pancreas

More common names for diabetes
Why ever does this article refer to "Type One diabetes" (a widely used term), but then go on to refer to "secondary diabetes" (which is not a widely used term at all)? Surely the term which should have been used here was the more commonly used term of "Type Two diabetes"? ACEOREVIVED (talk) 22:14, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Exocrine component of pancreas
There is no reason for this article to be separate; the short size and nature of the Pancreas article bears witness to this; this article would be of better quality and more utility to readers if it was provided with the context that the pancreas article bestows LT910001 (talk) 02:02, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I have completed this merge. --LT910001 (talk) 14:58, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

Anatomy: size error!
There is no way the pancreas is "5.75–9.5 cm long"! The German Wikipedia says 16-20 cm and I think this is more realistic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.202.184.53 (talk) 12:47, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing this out, IP editor. I'd encourage you to create an account and contribute further to the encyclopedia! --Tom (LT) (talk) 21:25, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Uncinate process of pancreas into Pancreas
Most of this article relates simply to the pancreas. Better to have it located in the parent article than separately - making life easier for readers and more likely that the article will be maintained. Tom (LT) (talk) 23:50, 28 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Agreed, that looks to be a stub and would be better in this article. |→ Spaully ~talk~
 * ❌ I'm withdrawing this merge proposal. I'm just not certain that Uncinate process can be merged into pancreas whilst easily retaining all the information in uncinate process. Open to hearing the opinion of others but will withdraw this for the time being. --Tom (LT) (talk) 21:10, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

Harrison's book, wrong page reference
I downloaded the ebook, same edition (19th), the reference points to pages  pp. 2437–8, but those pages are about lipoproteins and the liver.

So if I try to fix this reference, the pancreas is mentioned in "Part 14: Disorders of the gastrointestinal System", "Section 3: Disorders of the Pancreas", those are pages 2086−2102.

I don't think I'm wrong in this, so I will fix the reference, but if I am, feel free to let me know and explain. Thanks :) —Arthurfragoso (talk) 01:15, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
