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
