    Study Notes

    Pancreas Functionality

    • The exocrine pancreas produces enzymes to help with the digestion of food.
    • The endocrine pancreas produces hormones to help control various bodily functions.

    Endocrine Pancreas

    • The cells in the endocrine pancreas that release hormones are called islet cells or beta cells.
    • The endocrine pancreas releases insulin and glucagon to help control blood sugar levels.
    • The islets of Langerhans are clusters of cells in the endocrine pancreas that release hormones.

    Exocrine Pancreas

    • The enzymes released by the exocrine cells of the pancreas are released into the small intestine (duodenum) to aid in digestion.
    • The exocrine cells of the pancreas produce enzymes to aid in digestion.
    • The main function of the exocrine cells is to produce and secrete digestive enzymes into the small intestine.

    Functions

    • The endocrine pancreas functions to regulate blood sugar levels and other bodily functions.
    • The exocrine pancreas functions to aid in digestion by producing and releasing enzymes into the small intestine.
