Answer:

The digestive chemicals (enzymes) made by the pancreas are controlled by the body's nervous system and its hormones. When the body senses food in the stomach, electrical signals are sent to the pancreas via nerves. These signals stimulate the pancreas to put more enzymes into the pancreatic juice.

Answer:

The pancreas has an endocrine function because it releases juices directly into the bloodstream, and it has an exocrine function because it releases juices into ducts. Enzymes, or digestive juices, are secreted by the pancreas into the small intestine. There, it continues breaking down food that has left the stomach.

(It creates the stomach acids that breaks down food and transports it to the stomach and small intestine)
