pancreatice

Pancreatice is not a standard term in modern medical terminology. It may appear as a misspelling of pancreatic or as a coined term in niche or fictional contexts. In mainstream English-language anatomy and physiology, the adjective relating to the pancreas is pancreatic.

The pancreas is a gland located in the upper abdomen behind the stomach. It has exocrine tissue that produces digestive enzymes released into the small intestine and endocrine tissue (islets of Langerhans) that secretes hormones such as insulin and glucagon into the bloodstream.

Pancreatic function supports digestion and glucose regulation. Exocrine insufficiency can cause malabsorption, while endocrine dysfunction is central to diabetes mellitus. Pancreatic diseases include pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, and cystic fibrosis–related pancreatic damage, among others.

As a term, pancreatice is not widely used; when describing pancreas-related features, pancreatic should be used. If pancreatice appears, consult the source for its intended meaning, or treat it as a misspelling of pancreatic.
