What is the function of the acinar gland?
Pancreatic acinar cells synthesize and secrete almost all the digestive enzymes active in the lumen of the small intestine which are necessary for nutrient digestion. Both synthesis and secretion are highly regulated over both short and long time frames to insure an appropriate supply of digestive enzymes.
