The pancreas has two tissues, the exocrine and the endocrine, to perform its tasks. In the exocrine tissue, the gland cells produce digestive juices, which are transported to the intestine via the pancreatic ducts. The endocrine tissue has hormone-producing cells that produce insulin, for example. These hormones are needed to regulate blood sugar levels. Tumors can form in any of the tissues.
