The pancreas synthesizes several important substances, primarily digestive enzymes and hormones. Digestive enzymes, such as amylase, lipase, and proteases, are produced by the exocrine cells and aid in the digestion of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in the small intestine. Additionally, the endocrine cells of the pancreas produce hormones like insulin and glucagon, which regulate blood sugar levels and play crucial roles in metabolism.
Cells in the Salivary glands and pancreas that secrete large amounts of proteins have a highly developed rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER). The RER is responsible for the synthesis and packaging of proteins before they are secreted from the cell. This organelle is characterized by the presence of ribosomes on its surface, which are involved in protein synthesis.

Food is not digested in the pancreas. In fact, food doesn't pass through the pancreas at all. The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes to the small intestine (duodenum).
