Question

Which gland secretes digestive enzyme as well as hormones?

Answer 1

Though pancreas is an exocrine gland it functions both as a digestive exocrine gland and a hormone-producing endocrine gland.

As an exocrine gland, the pancreas excretes enzymes that break down the proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids in food. As an endocrine gland, the pancreas secretes some hormones like insulin and glucagon to control the blood sugar levels of our body.
