how does your pancreas, adrenal glands, and thyroid gland help your body use and balnace the nutrients from food

Wow! You realize that at hand are books written on all of this? I reckon I can do a brief overview, but for specific nutrition information, you may want to talk beside your doctor or a nutritionist.
First, the pancreas...it completes the job of breaking down protein, carbohydrates, and fat using digestive juices of pancreas combined beside juices from the intestines. It secrete hormones that affect the level of sugar contained by the blood and produces chemicals that neutralize stomach acids that pass from the stomach into the small intestine by using substances in pancreatic liquid. It also contains Islets of Langerhans, which are tiny groups of specialized cells that are spread throughout the organ.
These cells bury:
Glucagon—raises the level of glucose (sugar) contained by the blood
Insulin—stimulates cells to use glucose
Somatostatin—may regulate the secretion of glucagons and insulin.
The adrenal glands (or suprarenal) endocrine glands bring in hormones that circulate in the blood. These hormones control metabolism and responses of the body to stress, and oodles other functions. The adrenal glands produce hormones that affect almost every system in your body. One of the hormones that the adrenal glands secrete is called adrenaline. Adrenaline produces a sudden and remarkable burst of dash.
The function of the thyroid gland is to take iodine, found in lots foods, and convert it into thyroid hormones: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Thyroid cells are the single cells contained by the body which can absorb iodine. These cell combine iodine and the amino acid tyrosine to fashion T3 and T4. T3 and T4 are then released into the blood stream and are transported throughout the body where on earth they control metabolism (conversion of oxygen and calories to energy).
Hope this helps!
