Hello.
Pancreas is an endocrine as well as an exocrine gland located behind the stomach.
It's main function is to secrete enzymes and hormones. The pancreas contains islets of Langerhans which secrets the hormones insulin and glucagon.
Enzymes could be defined as certain chemicals secreted by the human body in order to facilitate a biochemical reaction in the body. In simpler words..we can say that enzymes are basically catalysts which speed up biochemical reactions in our body.
Hope this helps... :)
