Pancreas is a digestive organ having both exocrine and endocrine function. It produces digestive juices and enzymes required for the digestion and absorption of fat, carbohydrate and protein as an exocrine organ. It transfers digestive juices and enzymes through a small duct to the duodenum. Its endocrine role is to secret two main hormones, namely Insulin and Glucagon to maintain glucose homeostasis. Chronic Pancreatitis is a condition in which inflammation of the pancreas takes place.
