Extract from notes:
"ROLE AS AN EXOCRINE GLAND
- Mostly made of exocrine glandular tissue – produce digestive enzymes and pancreatic juice (an alkaline fluid)  both are secreted into ducts  leads to the PANCREATIC DUCT  released into the duodenum
Digestive enzymes the pancreas produces:
- Amylases: break down starch into simple sugars (e.g. Pancreatic amylase)
- Proteases: break down proteins into amino acids (e.g. Trypsin)
- Lipases: break down lipids into fatty acids and glycerol (e.g. Pancreatic lipase)"
