Pancreas Anatomy

Exocrine pancreas, the bit of the pancreas that makes and secretes digestive chemicals into the duodenum. This incorporates acinar and pipe cells with related connective tissue, vessels, and nerves. The exocrine segments embody more than 95% of the pancreatic mass. Endocrine pancreas, the bits of the pancreas (the islets) that make and discharge insulin, glucagon, somatostatin and pancreatic polypeptide into the blood. Islets embody 1-2% of the pancreatic mass.
