% of the cells in this structure occur in "grape-like" bundles around a central ductal lumen, and are shaped like truncated pyramids. The duct of Santorini in this organ is only present in some individuals. The duct of Wirsung leads to the ampulla of Vater, where it joins the common bile duct and collects the secretions of the acinar cells. It also has four other types of cells, including gamma and alpha cells, which secrete somatostatin and glucagon. Joined to the duodenum, it contains beta cells in the Islets of Langerhans. For 10 points, name this endocrine organ which secretes digestive enzymes and insulin.
