Abstract
The study of adaptation, as well as adaptive morphological and functional changes in the human and animal body during ontogenetic development in response to environmental and internal conditions, is a relevant and important area of research in modern biology, as well as in human and veterinary medicine. The digestive organs, which include the digestive tract, liver and pancreas, serve as a direct interface between living organisms and environmental substances, primarily through their role in nutrition. Throughout their lives, humans and animals are exposed to various adverse environmental influences, such as the consumption of poor quality food and water, overnutrition, malnutrition, environmental pollution, and infectious and invasive diseases. These factors often lead to functional disorders and pathologies of the digestive system, including the pancreas [1-2].
