The pancreas is an accessory organ, together with the liver and the gallbladder.
It is located posterior to stomach.
It is also an endocrine & exocrine organ, because it releases hormons.
The pancreases releases trypsin into the small intestine to buffer gastric juices. Trypsin is a digestive enzyme that digests protein.
