It creates insulin and secretes digestive enzymes.
No, the pancreas is not a part of the circulatory system. It is part of both the digestive and endocrine systems as it secretes digestive enzymes and produces hormones (such as insulin).
No. Pancreatitis is the inflamation or infection of the pancreas, a glandular organ which secretes digestive enzymes and produces insulin which regulates the body's glucose levels. The pancreas is part of the endocrine and digestive systems.

Pancreas
Function of the Pancreas The pancreas is a small organ located near the lower part of the stomach and the beginning of the small intestine. This organ has two main functions. It functions as an exocrine organ by producing digestive enzymes, and as an endocrine organ by producing hormones, with insulin being the most important hormone produced by the pancreas.The pancreas secretes its digestive enzymes, through a system of ducts into the digestive tract, while it secretes its variety of hormones directly into the bloodstream.Abnormal pancreatic function can lead to pancreatitis or diabetes mellitus.
The pancreas is the only endocrine gland that also functions as an exocrine gland. It produces hormones like insulin and glucagon for regulating blood sugar levels (endocrine function) and secretes digestive enzymes into the small intestine (exocrine function) to help with digestion.

The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes such as amylase, lipase, and protease, as well as sodium bicarbonate to help neutralize stomach acid in the small intestine during digestion.
The pancreas releases hormones glucagon and insulin into the blood stream like all other endocrine organs, but also releases digestive enzymes into the intestine. Since the intestine is considered 'outside' that is an exocrine function.
