Pancreatic secretions are secreted into the lumen anatomy lumen of the acinus, and then accumulate in intralobular ducts that drain to the main pancreatic duct , which drains directly into the duodenum . Control of the exocrine function of the pancreas is via the hormones gastrin , cholecystokinin and secretin , which are hormone s secreted by cells in the stomach and duodenum , in response to distension and or food and which cause secretion of pancreatic juices. There are two main classes of exocrine pancreatic secretions class wikitable Secretion Cell producing it Primary signal bicarbonate ions Centroacinar cells Secretin digestive enzymes Basophilic cells Cholecystokinin CCK Pancreatic secretions from ductal cells contain bicarbonate ions and are alkaline in order to neutralize the acidic chyme that the stomach churns out. The pancreas is also the main source of enzymes for digesting fat s lipids and proteins . The enzymes that digest polysaccharides , by contrast, are primarily produced by the walls of the intestine s. The cells are filled with secretory granules containing the precursor digestive enzymes. The major proteases which the pancreas secretes are trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen . Secreted to a lesser degree are pancreatic lipase and pancreatic amylase . The pancreas also secretes phospholipase A2 , lysophospholipase , and cholesterol esterase . The precursor enzymes termed zymogen s or proenzymes are inactive variants of the enzymes thus autodegradation is avoided, which can lead to pancreatitis .

This disease is found frequently in dog s. EPI is also found in humans afflicted with cystic fibrosis and Shwachman Diamond Syndrome . EPI is caused by a progressive loss of the pancreatic cells that make digestive enzymes. Most commonly in dogs, this is caused by pancreatic acinar atrophy . The atrophy in turn can be caused by previous infections, a blocked pancreatic duct , or genetics . Chronic pancreatitis is the most common cause of EPI in humans and cat s, but it is an uncommon cause in dogs. ref name Ettinger 1995 cite book author Ettinger, Stephen J.

Human homologues There is debate about whether humans have functional homologous structures homologues to preputial glands.
