The common bile duct and the pancreatic duct are connected to the duodenum. The common bile duct delivers bile from the liver and gallbladder and the pancreatic duct delivers pancreatic juice from the pancreas.

Where does the bile duct enter the duodenum?
The duodenum is the first, and smallest, section of the small intestine in mammals. It is the responsible for the majority of chemical digestion in the small intestines.
Why do bile and pancreatic juice enter the duodenum through a common duct?
The pancreatic ducts (Wirsung, and sometimes when present the Santorini) enter the duodenum. The gallbladder duct proper is called the cystic duct, and it joins the main hepatic duct to form the choledochal duct. The choledochal duct in turns joins with Wirsung's duct in the head of the pancreas to enter the duodenum through the major papilla. None of these structures enter the colon.
Does the gallbladder empty into the stomach?
part of the small intestine called the duodenum.
Which enzymes are used in the duodenum?
In the duodenum there is pancreatic lipase. This is an enzyme that breaks down fats into small enough pieces that you can absorb it to use it for energy/fuel. To be technical, fats in the duodenum are emulsified by bile (produced in the liver) and mixed micelles are formed (small "balls" of triglycerides, cholesterol, phospholipids, etc.). Pancreatic lipase will break down triglycerides in the mixed micelles into monoglycerides and free fatty acids. The enterocytes lining our small intestines will absorb monoglycerides and fatty acids.
Which are the touch receptors sensitive to heavy pressure?
Merkel cells or Merkel-Ranvier cells = light touch Meissner's or tactile corpuscles = light touch Vater-Pacini corpuscules = vibratory pressure and touch, deep pressure
Where does pancreatic juice perform its digestive role and how does it get there?
Pancreatic juice performs its functions in the duodenum. It gets there by traveling through the pancreatic duct then enters the duodenum through the hepatopancreatic ampulla (ampulla of Vater).
Prominent ampulla of vater?
what causes the ampulla of vater in the pancreas to be prominent
What is an ampulla of Vater?
An ampulla of Vater is a swelling which marks the union of the pancreatic duct and the common bile duct.
Ducts from the pancreas and liver enter the?
They enter the Duodenum which is the shortest section (about 10 inches long) of the small intestine.
Where does the bile duct enter the duodenum?
The duodenum is the first, and smallest, section of the small intestine in mammals. It is the responsible for the majority of chemical digestion in the small intestines.
What structures empty enzymes produced in the pancreas into the duodenum?
Ampulla of Vater
Where are located the ampulla of Vater and the sphincter of Oddi?
The ampulla of vater (hapetopancreatic ampulla) is joinigbetween the bile duct and the main pancreatic duct .It is located in the abdomen between the pancreas and the second part of the duodenum , which is the first part of the small intestine.
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.
The liver and pancreas are connected to the?
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.
Which duct joins the common bile duct as it enters the duodenum at the ampulla of vater?
cystic duct
