Compare and contrast pancreatic acinar cell function

Expert Solution
Step 1

The acinar cells of the pancreas harvest and transport chemicals that depart the body through the digestive system. The substances that the exocrine cells generate are called enzymes. They emitted in the duodenum; they help in the digestion of food.
The pancreas creates pancreatic juices called enzymes during digestion ,and  break down sugars, fats, and starches. 

Step 2

Pancreatic acinar cells synthesize and discharge almost all the digestive enzymes effective in the small intestine lumen, which is essential for nutrient digestion. Both synthesis and secretion are highly governed over short and extended time frames to safeguard a proper digestive enzymes ratio.
The exocrine pancreas' acinar cells are specified in the synthesis, sorting, storehouse and governed secretion of the complex variety of digestive enzymes packaged in a compact and passive form into zymogen granules.

The pancreas monitored by both the autonomic nervous system and the endocrine system. The two ANS divisions: the sympathetic and the parasympathetic.

Acinar cells relate to the exocrine pancreas and discharge digestive enzymes into the gut via a system of ducts. The pancreas is a dual-function gland that has the characteristics of endocrine and exocrine glands. α cells secrete glucagon, β cells secrete insulin (decrease glucose in the blood).
