What ducts that transport emzymes from the pancreas to the duodenum?

The pancreas sends digestive enzymes such as trypsin, chymotrypsin, elastase, carboxypeptidase, pancreatic lipase and pancreatic amylase to the small intestine via the pancreatic duct. Note that it is also an organ of the endocrine system. This means that in addition to releasing enzymes to the digestive tract, it also secretes hormones (insulin, glucagon, somatostatin) directly into the bloodstream.

Ducts from the pancreas and liver enter the?
They enter the Duodenum which is the shortest section (about 10 inches long) of the small intestine.
The liver and pancreas are connected to the?
The liver and pancreas are connected to the duodenum, the first section of the small intestine where most of the chemical digestion occurs.The liver has hepatic ducts (tubes that direct the secretions) that join with the cystic duct from the gallbladder to form the common bile duct that enters the duodenum. The pancreas has it's own pancreatic duct which joins with the common bile duct just before entering the small intestine at a structure called the hepatopancreatic ampulla (also known as the amulla of Vater).These ducts release the digestive enzymes and bile that allow the duodenum to carry out the majority of chemical digestion and food absorption.
What is the pancreas made of?
The pancreas is made up of glandular tissue and a system of ducts
What are the tubes in the pancreas called?
they are ducts...your welcome!
Which two ducts join together to form the ampulla of vater hepatopancreatic ampulla?
The common bile duct and the pancreatic duct are connected to the duodenum. The common bile duct delivers bile from the liver and gallbladder and the pancreatic duct delivers pancreatic juice from the pancreas.
How would digestive enzymes reach the digestive tract?
The Pancreas has ducts
What part connects the pancreas to the small intestine?
The pancreatic duct comes from the pancreas to the small intestine as does the accessory pancreatic duct. Pancreatic juice containing important buffers and digestive enzymes travels through these ducts into the lumen or hollow part of the duodenum or first part of the small intestine. Physically, there is some connective tissue that holds both the pancreas and small intestine in place and near each other.
What is connected to the duodenum via the bile duct?
The gallbladder is connected to the intestine by the bile ducts.
What is another name for pancreatic ducts?
The other name for pancreatic ducts is duct of Wirsung. It joins the pancreas to the bile ducts so that pancreatic juices can aid in digestion of your food.
