The pancreas is a gland organ in the digestive and endocrine system of vertebrates. It is both exocrine (secreting pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes) and endocrine (producing several important hormones, including insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin).
The thymus helps the body fight disease, and the pancreas regulates blood glucose levels using insulin. Diabetes is a disease caused by the inability of the pancreas to regulate insulin levels.
