Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pancreas is an organ that produces both exocrine and endocrine secretions. The exocrine portion of the pancreas produces digestive enzymes and bicarbonate, which are secreted into the small intestine through ducts. The endocrine portion of the pancreas produces hormones such as insulin and glucagon, which are secreted directly into the bloodstream. Therefore, option D, "exocrine and endocrine," is the best choice.
