Solution
The correct option is A Duodenum
The pancreas is the gland involved in both exocrine and endocrine functions. The exocrine part includes cells which secrete enzymes (amylase, lipases, peptidases) and bicarbonates, that helps in the digestion of food. These enzymes are secreted into the duodenum (first part of the small intestine) through the ducts. Whereas, the endocrine part includes the islets of Langerhans which secrete insulin and glucagon directly into the bloodstream. So, the correct option is A.
