Microcytic anaemia: anemia characterized by small red blood cells, due to deficiency of iron; Pernicious anaemia: body does not make enough red blood cells due to lack of vitamin B12; Goitre: swelling of the neck or larynx resulting from iodine deficiency; and Pellagra: chronic lack of niacin (vitamin B3).
Correct Option: D

The pancreas, located in the abdomen close to the stomach, is both an exocrine and an endocrine gland. Similarly, gonads (both ovaries and testes) are examples of organs that have both endocrine and exocrine functions. The endocrine function of the gonads is the production of the sex hormones (estrogens and androgens); while their exocrine function is to produce gametes
