The digestive system, including the pancreas and liver breaks down food.
Insulin is made in the pancreas. While the pancreas secretes digestive enzymes, it also produces several hormones. These are called endocrine cells, so it is part of the endocrine system. Specifically, insulin is made in the beta cells of the pancreas.
Acinar cells
The acinar cells of the pancreas produce digestive enzymes.
acinar cells
Yes it does !! Diabetic patient are restricted to eat certain food. They have their own strict diet, in case person eats something which is not recommended, then it leads to increase the glucose level in the blood. Which affect the digestive system by causing diarrhea, constipation, stomach upset.
A gland organ, the pancreas is an integral component of the digestive system with two different functional parts performing vital, life-sustaining tasks. The Islets of Langerhans are the endocrine (inner) cells of the pancreas that secrete insulin and glucagon, hormones needed to regulate the metabolization of sugar. The acinar cells are the exocrine (outer) cells of the pancreas that produce and transport the digestive enzymes (including chymotrypsin, pancreatic amylase, pancreatic lipase, and trypsin) and alkaline fluid that aid in the break down of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats.

It carries nutrients, extracted by the digestive system, to the cells; then returns waste products from the cells to the digestive system for elimination.

The pancreas has both endocrine and exocrine gland cells so it is a mixed gland.
the pancreas, it no longer produces enough insulin (hormone) or when cells stop working etc.
