Hello friend !
These are mixed glands that work as exocrine as well as endocrine . Pancreas is an example of such type of gland , endocrine portion secrets hormone namely insulin and glucagon while the exocrine portion secrets pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes .
Thanks !

Pancreas is an exocrine gland as it has a duct to store pancreatic juice secreted by the pancreas and use it whenever required
[Tex]\bold{ENDOCRINE}[/tex]⬇️⬇️
Pancreas is considered as a endocrine gland as it does not have a duct to store the hormones insulin and glucagon which are directly supplied to the blood stream.
