One misconception about the pancreas is that it exclusively produces insulin. While the pancreas does produce insulin, it also secretes other important hormones like glucagon and somatostatin, as well as digestive enzymes that aid in breaking down food in the small intestine. Additionally, the pancreas plays a crucial role in both the endocrine and exocrine systems, contributing to overall metabolic regulation and digestion.
