Question

Name one gland in the human body which secretes digestive enzymes as well as hormones.

Answer 1

The pancreas secretes both digestive enzymes and hormones. It is known as mixed glad because of its action as both endocrine and exocrine gland. It secretes hormones glucagon and insulin. While the majority of the pancreas is made up of the exocrine portion (85% by mass) and secretes digestive enzymes, water and bicarbonate to assist in digestion.
