The gland that serve as both exocrine and Endocrine is/are:
Correct answer: A. Pancreas
- A. Pancreas
- B. Gonads
- C. Adrenal gland
- D. Both (A) & (B)
Explanation
The gland that serves as both an exocrine and endocrine gland is the pancreas. It produces digestive enzymes that are released into the small intestine to aid in digestion (exocrine function), and it also produces hormones such as insulin and glucagon that regulate blood sugar levels (endocrine function). The pancreas plays a crucial role in both digestion and maintaining proper blood sugar balance.

About Chemical Coordination and Hormones
Chemical coordination uses hormones released by endocrine glands and carried in blood to specific target cells. Coverage includes the pituitary, thyroid, pancreas, adrenal glands, ovaries and testes, feedback control, and the contrast between slower, longer-lasting hormonal responses and rapid nervous coordination.
