Shopping Tips. First thing's first: Renting a pressure washer, rather than buying, is an option that allows you to skip the hassle of upkeep and storage.

The pancreas does not have a connective tissue capsule but is covered by loose vascular connective tissue of the mesenteries. Connective tissue septa divide the pancreas into lobes and lobules. The pancreas contains both exocrine (serous acini) and endocrine (islets of Langerhans) components.
The pancreas is a dual-function gland, having features of both endocrine and exocrine glands. 1  Endocrine: The part of the pancreas with endocrine function is made up of cell clusters called islets of Langerhans.  Exocrine: pancreas also functions as an exocrine gland that assists the digestive system. It secretes pancreatic fluid that contains digestive enzymes that pass to the small intestine. These enzymes help to further break down the carbohydrates, proteins and lipids (fats) in the chyme.
