Answer:

ok good question. pancreas is an organ which is found in both the exocrine and endocrine gland that's why sometimes it is called heterocrine. The outer portion of the pancreas(pancreatic islets) secrets the pancreatic juice,insulin and glucagon. let see them deeply: the insulin is a hormone secreted by the pancreas which is used for to lower the blood glucose method in appropriate standard they change it into glycogen and stored in liver. the other one glucagon undergoes a catabolic reaction of the glycogen to the glucose when the blood glucose level is very low so,the liver works in response of lower blood glucose level and the pancreas works in elevated blood glucose level thank you
