The pancreas works with two other functions, the Endocrine and Digestive.

With the endocrine system the pancreas supports the hormones in blood glucose.
And with the digestive system it produces and releases secretions.

The pancreas can be affected by Pancrestits,Cystic Fibrosis, and Pancreatic Cancer.

Pancrestits is when your pancreas has inflammation,this happens when the digestive enzymes start digesting the pancreas
Cystic Fibrosis is when sticky thick mucus blocks tubes to the pancreas.
Pancreatic Cancer is when you smoke, have long term diabetes,or a hereditary disorders.

A person can live without a pancreas, but they must take daily pills or injections that have special enzymes for the rest of their lives.
