Q.24. Give scientific reasons :
Pencreas is both exocrine as well as endocrine gland.

Answer 1

Pancreas is a heterocrine or myxocrine gland, as it contains two types of secretary structures, i.e., (i) Islet of Langerhans which secrete hormones insulin and glucagon, and these are transported by way of blood, and (ii) Acini that secretes pancreatic juice that is transported by way of ducts.
