It produces and secretes digestive enzyme and the body's supply of insulin. Without a pancreas, one would have to take a digestive enzyme with each meal and would have type 1 Diabetes.
The pancreas produces insulin to help the body digest the glucose that your body gets from your food.
The pancreas produces pancreatic juice (which goes to the small intestine to help digestion) and hormones. The most common hormone that it produces is insulin; insulin regulates the amount of sugar in your blood.
Pancreatic juice contains important enzymes such as lipase, amylase, trypsin, chymotrypsin and carboxypeptidase. Lipase helps to breakdown the fat in you food and body. Amylase helps to break down the starch in your body. And the high concentration of biocarbonate ions in the carboxypeptidase neutralizes the acidic gastric juice.
As you can see the pancreas is a very important organ to the human body.
