Systematic functions of pancreas
2021
The pancreas has an endocrine function because it releases
juice directly into the blood. Digestive enzymes or juices are
secreted from the pancreas into the small intestine. There, it
continues to break down the food that comes out of the
stomach. The pancreas also produces the hormone insulin and
secretes it into the blood, where it regulates glucose or sugar
levels in the body. Insulin regulator problems can lead to
diabetes. Other possible health problems include pancreatitis
and pancreatic cancer
