Answer:

Pancreas

Explaination

  • The pancreas is a glandular organ in the upper abdomen, but really it serves as two glands in one: a digestive exocrine gland and a hormone-producing endocrine gland.
  • Functioning as an exocrine gland, the pancreas release enzymes to break down the proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids in food.
  • Both of these diverse functions are vital to the body’s survival. Adrenal, Thyroid, and Pituitary glands are endocrine glands that only secrete hormones.
  • Functioning as an endocrine gland, the pancreas secretes the hormones insulin and glucagon that control blood sugar levels
