Abstract
Exocrine pancreatic secretion is controlled by neural and hormonal mechanisms. Pancreatic insufficiency can be caused (1) by diseases that interrupt this integrated process or destroy enzymes in the small intestine and (2) by primary pancreatic disease. Primary and secondary pancreatic insufficiency can be differentiated by comparing the results of reflex and direct stimulatory tests of pancreatic function.
