Why is pancreas an endocrine gland and an exocrine gland also ?
Answers & Comments
TPS
Pancereas excretes enzymes to break down the proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids in food. Hence it can be a exocrine gland.
It also secretes the hormones insulin and glucagon directly into the blood stream to control blood sugar levels throughout the day. Hence it can be a endocrine gland.
