The pancreas has 2 main functions: one being the secretion of digestive enzymes (exocrine gland function) and the second being the production of insulin by the islet cells of Langerhans.
Hope this helps

The primary function of the pancreas is to produce chemicals that are crucial to proper digestion and blood sugar regulation.
The pancreas in the cow has the same function as that in the human.
Yes, insulin is secreted by the pancreas. This secretion is part of the endocrine function of the pancreas.
it makes insulin
The Pancreas. :)
The pancreas produces enzymes and hormones which help digest food. Therefore, the pancreas is important to the stomach and the intestines. They both would not function without the pancreas.
Both the ovary and pancreas have endocrine functions. The ovary also functions in the reproductive system, and the pancreas has an exocrine function in the digestive system.
That would be the pancreas.

islets of Langerhans
The pancreas is a digestive organ in the abdomen that lies just below the stomach. Its primary job is to produce enzymes required for the digestion and absorption of food. Enzymes secreted include lipases that digest fat, proteases which digest proteins, and amylases which digest starch molecules.
