Which body organ has both an exocrine and endocrine function?

Exocrine glands release their product to the external environment, while endocrine glands release their product directly into bodily fluids. The pancreas does both: it releases digestive enzymes into the small intestine (external environment), and releases hormones into the bloodstream (body fluid).
