Pancreatic juice is secreted by acini cells of pancreas into duodenum of small intestine. This juice has enzymes which can digest the carbohydrates, protein, fats, Nucleic acid.

Pancreas has other category of specialized cells called as Islets of langerhans which secrete Hormones like insulin and glucagon.
Insulin lowers the blood sugar level.
Glucagon Increases the blood sugr level.

Glycogen is the reserved material of animals. Extra glucose is stored as Glycogen in liver

Firsr of all you have to understand that pancreas is not just a enzyme secreting gland or not just a hormone secreting gland ,it has both digestive enzyme secreting part{acini cells}and hormone secreting part{islets of labgharhein} so the pancratic juice is secreted by enzyme secretng part and it helps in diegestion of food while ,hormones like insulin and glycogen are secreted by islets of langarhein and help in mainating the blood sugar level. Plzz hit like !!!!!
