The pancreas has both exocrine and endocrine function. The secretion of insulin is an example of which one of these functions?
What is endocrine function
300
The endocrine gland releases this hormone that acts to stimulate the follicular cells to manufacture and release their two hormones, T-3 and T-4?
What is Anterior pituitary releases TSH
