Question

Heather presented to her class a report about the pancreas. Which statement in Heather’s report was not accurate?
The pancreas has both endocrine and exocrine functions.
The pancreas regulates blood sugar concentration.
The pancreas triggers the development of secondary sex characteristics.
The pancreas helps digest fat, protein, and carbohydrates.

Answer 1

"The pancreas triggers the development of secondary sex characteristics." is not accurate.

Explanation: the pancreas controls blood sugar (insulin, glucagon) and secretes digestive enzymes (lipase, proteases, amylase), but development of secondary sex characteristics is driven by sex hormones from the gonads (and adrenal glands), not the pancreas.
