Exocrine
- Digestive enzymes
- Amylase
- Lipase
- Trypsinogen
- Function:
- Substances are secreted into ducts
- Exocrine cells are in small groups surrounding tiny tubules
- Groups of cells called Acini, separated by connective tissue, joined by an interlobular duct
- Becomes the pancreas duct
- Carries fluids into the first part of the intestines
