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.
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.
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.
either endocrine or exocrine According to my medical terminology book the correct answer would be exocrine. Endocrines DO NOT have ducts.
The generic term for glands that empty into a duct or onto a body surface are called exocrine glands. Glands the release their secretions directly into the blood stream are called endocrine glands.
Exocrine glands have ducts. Endocrine glands do not have ducts.
Insulin is synthesized in significant quantities only in beta cells in the pancreas.
No. These are exocrine glands.
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.

Exocrine and endocrine glands
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.
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.

The word exocrine is used in contrast to the endocrine glands. Endocrine glands pour their secretions in the blood stream. The exocrine glands pour their secretions in the tubular organs nearby, in most cases.
Mucus glands are exocrine, not endocrine, glands. They secrete mucus via ducts.
both are glands
