Hello Friend !
Pancreas are known to have a dual function because it acts as both an endocrine gland and exocrine gland i.e. it is a part of both the hormonal and digestive system of the body respectively. So, itis also called heterocrine gland.
It secretes hormones insulin and glucagon as well as digestive enzymes.
Hope this helps !!

Heyaa folk,
The pancreas gland works both as endocrine and exocrine gland, because it is a glanduar organ in the upper abdomen, but really it serves as two glands in one - a digestive exocrine gland and hormone - producing endocrine gland functioning as an exocrine gland , the pancreas excretes enzymes to breakdown the proteins.
The pancreatic hormones -
The production of pancreatic hormones, including insulin, somatostatin, gastrin, and glucagon, play an important role in maintaining sugar and salt balance in our bodies.
Hope it helps u :)
