The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Gland**: The question asks for the irregular, elongated gland located between the stomach and the duodenum. The gland in question is the pancreas. 2. **Understand the Structure**: The pancreas has an irregular and elongated shape, which distinguishes it from other glands in the body. 3. **Functions of the Pancreas**: The pancreas serves two primary functions: - **Exocrine Function**: It produces digestive enzymes that are secreted into the duodenum to aid in the digestion of food. - **Endocrine Function**: It produces hormones such as insulin and glucagon, which are important for regulating blood sugar levels. 4. **Classification of the Gland**: Given that the pancreas has both exocrine and endocrine functions, it is classified as a mixed gland. This means it has both ducted (exocrine) and ductless (endocrine) components. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that the irregular, elongated gland between the stomach and duodenum is a mixed gland, specifically the pancreas. ---
