An exo-endocrine gland in the human body is:
- Pituitary gland
- Pancreas
- Salivary gland

Answer
Pancreas
Reason — The pancreas is an exo-endocrine gland because it has both exocrine and endocrine functions. It secretes digestive enzymes into the small intestine via ducts (exocrine activity) and produces hormones like insulin and glucagon, which are released directly into the bloodstream to regulate blood sugar levels (endocrine activity).
