hepatic cells

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Pancreatic acinar cells are classical exocrine gland cells. The apical regions of clusters of coupled acinar cells collectively form a lumen which constitutes the blind end of a tube created by ductal cells-a structure reminiscent of a “bunch of grapes”.

Detailed explanation-2: -The endocrine role of the pancreas is mediated by four major Functionally distinct islet cells: cells (glucagon), cells (insulin), cells (somatostatin) and PP or cells (pancreatic polypeptide) [1]. Most of the volume (over 95%) of the pancreatic epithelium is made up by acinar and ductal cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -The exocrine cells (acinar cells) of the pancreas produce and transport chemicals that will exit the body through the digestive system. The chemicals that the exocrine cells produce are called enzymes. They are secreted in the duodenum where they assist in the digestion of food.
