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.
