The lifespan of a pancreas cell varies depending on the specific type of cell. For example, insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas can live for several months to years, while exocrine cells, which produce digestive enzymes, have a shorter lifespan of about 5 to 10 days due to their high turnover rate. Overall, the regeneration and replacement of pancreatic cells are influenced by factors such as age, health, and metabolic conditions.
The average lifespan of a muscle cell is about 15 years.

A pancreas cell is an animal cell because it is a eukaryotic cell that is found in animals. It contains membrane-bound organelles and a distinct nucleus, which are characteristic features of animal cells. Pancreas cells play a crucial role in producing and secreting digestive enzymes and hormones such as 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.)

The lifespan of a liver cell is 300 to 500 days.
in the pancreas The Isles of Langerhan are cell clusters in the pancreas that form the endocrine part of that organ. They secrete insulin and other hormones.

after eating, your blood glucose level goes up and the insulin would kick in, insulin is released from the pancreas and the insulin opens the cell door for glucose and the blood glucose levels go back to normal.
