The county jurisdiction includes the island of Santa Rosa south of Pensacola; it is not part of Santa Rosa County proper. Escambia County is part of the Pensacola-Ferry Pass-Brent Metropolitan Statistical Area.
It secretes juices containing enzymes that are capable of digesting all major types of food -- carbohydrates, fats and proteins. The pancreas is the first organ to begin digesting fats. It secretes pancreatic lipase, esterase and phospholipase, which break down chemically complex fats into simple, easy-to-absorb fats. Similarly, trypsin and carboxypolypeptidase break down proteins, and pancreatic amylase breaks down carbohydrates.
M1, M3 and M5 receptors cause the activation of phospholipase C, generating two secondary messengers (IP3 and DAG) eventually leading to an intracellular increase of calcium, while M2 and M4 inhibit adenylate cyclase, thereby decreasing the production of the second messenger cAMP.
