The pancreas is a gland organ in the digestive and endocrine system of vertebrates . It is both an endocrine gland producing several important hormones , including insulin , glucagon , and somatostatin , and a digestive organ, secreting pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes that assist the absorption of nutrients and the digestion in the small intestine . These enzymes help to further break down the carbohydrates , proteins , and lipids in the chyme .
