| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| androgen | A male hormone that affects the growth of body and facial hair. |
| pancreas | A flat, tongue-shaped fleshy organ lying against the abdominal wall that functions as both an exocrine and endocrine gland. |
| islets of Langerhans | Scattered clusters of cells in the pancreas that secrete insulin and glucagon. |
