Solution
A is false but R is true.
Explanation:
The pancreas secretes insulin, but its function is to lower the blood glucose level, not to raise it. Therefore, Assertion (A) is false
Hormones produced by the endocrine glands act as chemical messengers and help coordinate activities between the nervous system and different organs of the body. Therefore, Reason (R) is true.
Hence, A is false but R is true.
