The pancreas is a paracrine gland, i.e., it has both exocrine and endocrine parts. The exocrine part secretes pancreatic juice which helps in the digestion of food. The endocrine part includes the Islets of Langerhans with α, β and delta cells. These cells secrete the hormones glucagon, insulin and somatostatin respectively.
