a: The pancreas ~
b: a machine on autopilot

What:

"It is a testament to reliability that most adults do not know much about the pancreas. We don't simply because we don't have to. From the moment of birth, the pancreas is like a machine on autopilot - silently working in the background doing its job meal after meal, day after day. We may only have one pancreas, but it usually lasts a lifetime processing over 100,000 meals and rarely ever breaks down."
