What is the difference between the endocrine and exocrine functions of the pancreas?
**Exocrine:** Secretes pancreatic juice into the pancreatic duct **Endocrine: ** Secretes hormones (glucagon, insulin, somatostatin) directly into the blood stream to control blood glucose levels
223
What function does the acinar cells preform and how much secretions do they produce a day?
They secrete 1.2-1.5 L of pancreatic juice per day
224
Why is the pH of pancreatic juice alakaline?
-Buffers the acidic chyme -Stops the action of pepsin -Creates the proper pH for the digestive enzymes | 7.1-8.2 pH

What is the function of the hepatocytes and bile canaliculi in the liver?
1. Hepatocytes: Marjor functional cells 2. Bile canaliculi: Small ducts between hepatocytes that collect bile
245
What are the hepatic sinusoids in the liver?
1. Highly permeable capillaries between rows of hepatoxytes that recieive oxygenated and deoxygenated blood
