How do enzymes produced in the pancreas come in contact with food since the food does not pass through the pancreas?
Enzymes produced in the pancreas are secreted into the small intestine through the pancreatic duct. When food enters the small intestine from the stomach, these enzymes mix with the food as it is digested. This allows the enzymes to break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, facilitating nutrient absorption. Thus, even though food doesn't pass through the pancreas, the enzymes reach it effectively in the small intestine.
