Explanation:

The pancreas belongs to the endocrine and digestive systems—with most of its cells (more than 90%) working on the digestive side. However, the pancreas performs the vital duty of producing hormones—most notably insulin—to maintain the balance of blood glucose (sugar) and salt in the body.

the endocrine system secretes hormones into blood and other body fluids. these chemicals are important for metabolism, growth, water and mineral balance, and the response to stress. hormones provide feedback to the brain to affect neural processing. reproductive hormones affect the development of the nervous system.
