Insulin is synthesized in significant quantities only in beta cells in the pancreas.

Directly into the Blood Stream. Endocrine Glands release there secretions (hormones) directly into the blood stream. That is why they are unlike Exocrine Glands.
No. Exocrine glands have tubes (ducts) leading from them to some other body part or cavity. Endocrine glands are ductless and secrete their substances.... mostly hormones..... into the intercellular space and these hormones are then picked up by the bloodstream and transported throughout the body to where they are needed.
Pancreas and the Ovaries(in females) are the glands which can be called both endocrine and exocrine.
Most glands do not have ducts. The ones that do are called exocrine glands; mainly these just are sweat glands, oils glands, digestive glands, and sexaul reproducitive glands.
Endocrine glands secrete their hormones directly into the bloodstream. Exocrine glands secrete their hormones into a duct that leaves the body externally: for example, sweat glands empty onto the skin. Endocrine gland secretes compounds (hormones) into the blood. Exocrine gland secretes compounds outside of the body (including into the GI tract since the GI tract is topologically outside of the body). Exocrine glands have ducts that carry their secretory product to a surface. These glands include the sweat, sebaceous, and mammary glands and, the glands that secrete digestive enzymes.The endocrine glands do not have ducts to carry their product to a surface. They are called ductless glands. The word endocrine is derived from the Greek terms "endo," meaning within, and "krine," meaning to separate or secrete. The secretory products of endocrine glands are called hormones and are secreted directly into the blood and then carried throughout the body where they influence only those cells that have receptor sites for that hormone.
Sodium bicarbonate is secreted by the pancreas. The pancreas has both endocrine and exocrine function. Its secretion of sodium bicarbonate is part of its exocrine function.
No. These are exocrine glands.
It creates insulin and secretes digestive enzymes.

I think the student wanted to ask about the difference between an exocrine and endocrine gland but mistakened and wrote both the same. Exocrine gland differ from Endocrine gland because in case of exocrine glands ezymes are secreted by ducts carrying them to their site of actions but in case of endocrine hormones are secreted in body without ducts and are cariied by circulatory fluid of the organism.
The pancreas makes insulin and glucagon and excretes these into the bloodstream. These are hormones that help with regulation of sugar in the body. This is the endocrine part of the pancreatic function. It also makes enzymes that aid in digestion. It also makes bicarbonate to neutralize acids in the stomach. This is the exocrine part of the pancreatic function.
The release of insulin by the pancreas is an endocrine function. The release of sweat and saliva are exocrine functions.

The main difference between exocrine and endocrine glands is that endocrine glands secrete hormones into the bloodstream and have no ducts while exocrine glands secrete chemical substances into ducts.
Exocrine glands are any glands that deposit their secretions through a duct onto a body surface. Because sweat is deposited onto the surface of our skin it would be considered an exocrine gland. Endocrine glands secrete directly into our bloodstream.
Hormones are chemical substances secreted by endocrine glands
