Description: The pancreas is an exocrine gland that secretes pancreatic juice, another important digestive fluid. This fluid, made up of digestive enzymes, water, and electrolytes, is drained into the pancreatic duct. The duct converges with the common bile duct. In addition to its digestive functions, the pancreas also has an important role in the endocrine system. The islets of Langerhans in the pancreas are responsible for some endocrine secretions, including insulin.
