The common bile duct join the pancreatic duct, the bile from common bile duct and pancreatic juice from pancreatic duct empty into duodenum (of small intestine) through the sphincter of oddi (valve) if it is opened. The opening of this valve is controlled by a hormone called Cholecystokinin.
Where does pancreatic juice enter the small intestine?
There is a site on the duodenum called Ampulla of vater where the common bile duct joins with the pancreatic duct and enters into the small intestine at the duodenum.
Does the bile duct join the small intestine at the duodenum?
A few inches into the duodenum is the hepato-pancreatic ampulla, which is the site where the pancreatic duct and the common bile duct of the liver enter.
What is the area of the small intestine called where liquids from the liver and pancreas enter?
pancreatic duct
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.
