The pancreas has several cell types. The pancreas forms these small pouches that are formed by acinar cells, which make the proteins and enzymes in pancreatic fluid. These pouches then lead into intercalated ducts. The first cells here are centroacinar cells, which secrete bicarbonate. The rest of the ducts are lined by duct cells that change the electrolytic composition of pancreatic fluid. The pancreas also contains Islets of Langerhan. Within these islets you can find beta cells(produce insulin), alpha cells(produce glucagon), delta cells(produce somatostatin), epsilon cells(produce ghrelin), and PP cells(produce pancreatic polypeptide).

Hope that helps.

Which glands produce insulin?

In humans only the pancreas produces insulin. There are clusters of specialized cells in the pancreas called Islets of Langerhans. The cell type in the Islets that produce insulin are beta cells. (Other cell types in the Islets produce other hormones.)
