1. Pancreas functions as both endocrine and exocrine gland. Hence, called as dual function gland or a mixed gland. Exocrine part of pancreas secretes digestive enzymes while, its endocrine part (islets of Langerhans) produce two hormones, i.e. insulin and glucagon.
2. Intestinal villi are highly vascular to increse the surface area for absorption and also provides connection with blood vessels for rapid absorption.
