What is the organ called that releases digestive juices into the small intestine?
Yes, it releases digestive juice into small intestine. 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.
What two types of movements occur in the small intestine?
The two types of movement in the small intestine are peristalsis and segmental movements. Segmental movements, which are more common in the small intestine than peristalsis, move the digesting food back and forth in a part of the small intestine. This lets the food mix with intestinal juices. Peristalsis is one-way movement that pushes the digesting food through the small intestine toward the large intestine.
What two major parts of the digestive system is the pancreas attached to?
the pancreas works with the small intestine and the liver. It works with the liver by sending the hormones that it makes to the liver. The pancreas makes insulin and glucagon. If the blood sugar is high, the pancreas sends out insulin. The liver reads this and it will store glucose(sugar). Glucagon tells the liver to release glucose when the blood sugar is high. The pancreas works with the small intestine because it makes digestive juices that are sent into the small intestine. The juices help break down food.
What is the path the food travels through the digestive system?
The food starts in the mouth, travels down the esophagus to the stomach, travels from the stomach to the small intestine, travels then to to large intestine, and exits the body through the rectum then the anus.

What sends digestive juices into the large intestine?
The large intestine itself does not produce digestive juices; instead, it receives digested material from the small intestine. The pancreas, liver, and gallbladder contribute digestive enzymes and bile, which aid in digestion primarily in the small intestine. By the time the material reaches the large intestine, most nutrients have been absorbed, and the large intestine's primary role is to absorb water and electrolytes and form waste for excretion. The process is regulated by hormones and nerve signals that coordinate digestion and absorption.
