As in most mammals, in the dog the pancreas is a digestive organ. The pancreas has two intermingled types of cells - exocrine cells and endocrine cells. The exocrine cells make digestive enzymes that are excreted into the small intestine when food moves out of the stomach. The endocrine cells make insulin and a few other hormones; these are secreted into the blood stream when blood sugar increases.
