Name any two glands which function as endocrine glands as well as exocrine glands.
Pancreas is the common organ. There are some others like Liver, Kidney, and Gonads
Explanation: Liver: Exocrine function is secretion of bile through biliary tract. Endocrine function is to release IFG (Insulin like Growth Factors) that are needed for skeletal growth
Kidney: Exocrine function is secretion of urine through the pelvis. Endocrine function is the production and secretion of three hormones: Erythropoietin, Calcitriol and Renin (technically an enzyme but functionally a hormone)
Testis: Exocrine function is secretion of sperm through vas deferens. Endocrine function is production of testosterone
Ovary: Exocrine function is ovulation. Endocrine function is production of estrogen and progesterone.
