  • Pancreas: The Dual Role of Endocrine & Exocrine Functions
    The organ that is composed of both endocrine and exocrine tissue is the pancreas.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Endocrine function: The pancreas produces hormones like insulin and glucagon, which regulate blood sugar levels. These hormones are released directly into the bloodstream.

    * Exocrine function: The pancreas produces digestive enzymes like amylase, lipase, and protease, which are released into the small intestine through ducts.
