Pancreas is the gland which acts as both exocrine as well as endocrine.
It acts as exocrine because it has a duct to store pancreatic juice secreted by the pancreas which is stored in the small intestine and it also known as endocrine because it does not have a duct to store the hormones insulin and glucagon which are directly supplied to the blood stream.
