No; insulin is not considered part of pancreatic juice. Pancreatic juice is one of the two types of secretions that come from the pancreas. The juice is mostly water, but also contains important substances such as bicarbonate (a buffer used to decrease acidity), salt, and pancreatic enzymes (to digest food). A hormone called secretin stimulates the secretion of pancreatic juice, which enters the small intestine to have its main effect. The other major pancreatic secretions are hormonal. These include insulin, glucagon, and others. These hormones are secreted directly into the blood stream, as opposed to being secreted into the small intestine like the pancreatic juice. Insulin secretion is regulated by blood sugar levels.

∙ 12y agoi believe enterokinase is formed by the duodenum and makes its way to the pancreas, where it can then activate trypsin.

Where does pancreatic juice perform its digestive role and how does it get there?

Where are bile and pancreatic juice are emptied?
Duodenum has an opening for the dumping of bile and pancreatic juice called the hepatopancreatic sphincter
What is the exocrine portion of the pancreas composed of?
There are 2 main types: duct cells and acinar cells. The acinar cells synthesize the enzymatic component of pancreatic secretions (pancreatic lipase, pancreatic proteases, and pancreatic amylase). The duct cells secrete the the aqueous component, which is primarily bicarbonate, though the concentration changes with flow rate and stage of digestion (cephalic, gastric, intestinal).
