-
Both duct and ductless gland
-
None of these.
Answer
(c) Both duct and ductless gland
Explanation:
The pancreas is a mixed gland, which means it has both endocrine and exocrine functions. The exocrine cells of the pancreas secrete digestive enzymes into the small intestine through ducts, while the endocrine cells secrete hormones such as insulin and glucagon directly into the bloodstream, making the pancreas both a duct and ductless gland. Therefore, the correct option is “Both duct and ductless gland”.
