Which of the following glands in human body acts both as an endocrine gland as well as an exocrine gland?

Correct answer: (c) Pancreas

Explanation

The pancreas is both an endocrine and an exocrine gland.

As exocrine, it secretes pancreatic juice (enzymes like trypsin, amylase, lipase) through a duct; as endocrine, its islets release hormones like insulin into the blood.

Adrenal and thyroid are purely endocrine, while the lacrimal gland is only exocrine.
