• The pancreas consists of pancreatic islets and serous secreting acini with a duct system.
  anatomy pancreas
• The exocrine pancreas has serous secreting acini, while the endocrine pancreas contains islets of Langerhans.
  anatomy pancreas
• The secretion method for the exocrine pancreas is through a duct system, while the endocrine pancreas uses the vascular system.
  anatomy pancreas
• The exocrine pancreas secretes zymogens, whereas the endocrine pancreas does not secrete any specific substance.
  anatomy pancreas
• The secretion of zymogens in the exocrine pancreas is induced by CCK.
  physiology pancreas
• To prevent self-digestion, the pancreas uses protease inhibitors in zymogen granules and condensation of secretory proteins at low pH.
  physiology pancreas
• The ducts of the exocrine pancreas include intercalated ducts, intralobular ducts, and interlobular ducts.
  anatomy pancreas
• The type of epithelium in intercalated ducts is simple squamous/cuboidal, while intralobular ducts have simple cuboidal/columnar epithelium.
  anatomy pancreas
• The function of intercalated ducts includes HCO3- secretion induced by secretin.
  physiology pancreas
• Zymogens leave the pancreas via the main and accessory pancreatic ducts to reach the duodenum.
  anatomy pancreas
• The parotid salivary gland contains striated ducts and myoepithelial cells.
  anatomy salivary_glands
• In the pancreatic gland, intercalated ducts begin within the acinus and lead to intralobular and interlobular ducts.
