The pancreas is part of the digestive system and is classified as an accessory organ of digestion
Duodenum
The bile duct connects the pancreas and the gall bladder.
the pancreas
'Bile Duct' or technically the Common Bile Duct is formed by the union of Common Hepatic duct and Cystic Duct. It passes through the head of pancreas and ends in the duodenum. It transports bile salts, bile pigments among others.
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.
The stomach leads into the first part of the small intestine, which is called the duodenum. The pancreas also leads into the duodenum, by a duct (tube) called the pancreatic duct. So both connect to the small intestine, but the stomach does not connect to the pancreas. For a diagram see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancreas
Blockage of the pancreatic duct causes nutrient malabsorption.
the liver is connected to the bile duct. This is a common duct that collects excretions, from both, the liver and the pancreas and tranfers it to the duodenum.
pancreas
The duodenum (part of the small intestine) is where the hepatopancreatic duct (common duct from the liver and pancreas) empties both bile and enzymes from the pancreas for chemical digestion.The duodenum or small intestine.
