pancreas
duodenum
Food is not digested in the pancreas. In fact, food doesn't pass through the pancreas at all. The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes to the small intestine (duodenum).
The pancreas and the gallbladder are the associated glands connected to the duodenum. The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes into the duodenum to help with the breakdown of food, while the gallbladder stores and releases bile produced by the liver to aid in the digestion and absorption of fats in the duodenum.
The pancreas releases its enzymes into the duodenum, which is the first part of the small intestine.
The pancreas sends enzymes in the alkaline pancreatic juice into the duodenum.
The liver releases bile, and the pancreas releases digestive enzymes.
Carbohydrates
Secretions from the liver (bile and enzymes) will pass through the common hepatic duct and reaches the pancreatic duct. pancreatic juices from the pancreas will also flow to the pancreatic duct. both will be flowing to the duodenum through a small opening in the duodenum.
The pancreas produces a whole spectrum of digestive enzymes, including amylase, lipase, and proteases, which are secreted into the duodenum to aid in the digestion of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, respectively. These enzymes are essential for breaking down food molecules into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body.
Pepsin
The pancreatic duct transports digestive enzymes and bicarbonate from the pancreas to the small intestine. These enzymes help break down food in the small intestine, while bicarbonate helps neutralize the acidity of the stomach contents in the duodenum.
