What is acini?
A pancreatic acinar cell (plural acini) is part of the exocrine pancreas and is responsible for the production of pancreatic enzymes, such as lipase.

Amylase lipase carboxypeptidase somatostatin and elastase which is not produced by the acini of the pancreas?
somatostatin
Does the pancreas secrete into the duodenum?
The pancreas is divided into lobules consisting of acini (exocrine secreting glands). Two primary functions of the acini are: hydrolytic enzymes which break down fats, proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids - bicarbonate secretions which helps maintain neutral intraluminal pH.
What structures line the pancreas?
Under a microscope, stained sections of the pancreas reveal two different types of parenchymal tissue.[2] Lightly staining clusters of cells are called islets of Langerhans, which produce hormones that underlie the endocrine functions of the pancreas. Darker staining cells form acini connected to ducts. Acinar cells belong to the exocrine pancreas and secrete digestive enzymes into the gut via a system of ducts. Structure AppearanceFunction Islets of Langerhans Lightly staining, large, spherical clusters Hormone production and secretion (endocrine pancreas) Pancreatic acini Darker staining, small, berry-like clusters Digestive enzyme production and secretion (exocrine pancreas)
A primary function of the pancreas is to?
The primary function of the pancreas is to produce chemicals that are crucial to proper digestion and blood sugar regulation.
Difference between mucous acinus and serous acini?
mucous acini has nuclei at the periphery whereas serous acini has nucleus in the centre if the cells surrounding the lumen.Mucous acini usually stain pale, while serous acini usually stain dark.
What is a cow pancreas?
The pancreas in the cow has the same function as that in the human.
Insulin is secreted by cells present in pancreas?
Yes, insulin is secreted by the pancreas. This secretion is part of the endocrine function of the pancreas.
What best describes the exocrine function of the pancreas?
The exocrine function of the pancreas is to produce digestive enzymes (lipase, amylase, peptidases) that are deposited into the duodenum.
What are the mixed endocrine-exocrine organs?
One of the mixed endocrine-exocrine organs is the pancreas. It has a mixture of the two tissues. The larger, exocrine part has clusters of secretory cells that form sacs known as acini. The smaller endocrine tissue is known as the islets of Langerhans, which go throughout the entire pancreas. The other endocrine organs that are mixed glands are the ovaries and the testes. Mixed glands means that they are endocrine and exocrine in function.
What is the function of a pig's pancreas?
it makes insulin
