Which endocrine gland is also part of the digestive system?

Where can lipase's be found?
Lipases can be found in various sources, including the pancreas, stomach, and small intestine in the human body, as well as in other animals. They are also produced by certain microorganisms and plants and are often used in industrial processes, such as in the food and detergent industries.
What gland secretes insulin?
The pancreas secretes insulin, which is a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels in the body. Insulin plays a crucial role in the absorption of glucose into cells for energy production.
How will the removal of pancreas affect digestion?
The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes that aid digestion in the small intestines; the removal of the pancreas would make it much more difficult to digest food. If the pancreas has to be removed for medical reasons (probably pancreatic cancer) then presumably, the patient would then take enzyme pills with his or her meals, to make up for the loss of the pancreas. Such a person would also suffer from severe diabetes, since the pancreas is also the organ that secretes insulin, and a person without a pancreas would require insulin injections as well.
