What ducts empty into the duodenal ampulla?
The common bile duct and main pancreatic duct both empty into the duodenal ampulla. These ducts facilitate the transport of bile and pancreatic enzymes into the duodenum to aid in digestion.
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.
Where does the common bile duct empty its contents?
According to my old A&P book, the Thoracic duct (aka left lymphatic duct) collects most of the lymph in the body and drains into the circalatory system, between the left subclavian and left internal jugular veins via the left brachiocephalic vein. The right arm, right side of the chest, neck and head and lower left lobe of the lung is collected by the right lymphatic duct.
Does the pancreas help in the digestion of lipids?
The pancreas secretes important digestive enzymes (pancreatic amylase, pancreatic lipase, trypsin, and chymotrypsin) which empty into the duodenum (first part of the small intestine) to break down the carbohydrates, fats, and proteins we ingest.
What are Empty sacs with the cytoplasm called?
Empty sacs with cytoplasm are called vacuoles. Vacuoles are membrane-bound organelles found in the cytoplasm of a cell that typically store nutrients, waste products, and other substances.
Does the pancreatic duct transport secretions from the pancreas to the duodenum?
Pancreatic digestive juices are carried by a tube-like structure known as the pancreatic duct.
What part of the small intestine does the pancreatic duct empty into?
duodenum

Does the gallbladder empty into the stomach?
part of the small intestine called the duodenum.
What is the peritoneal membrane that attaches the stomach and duodenum to the liver?
The stomach empties into the duodenum. The liver secretes bile into the common hepatic duct. If the sphincter choledochus is closed (it usually is), then the bile refluxes into the gall bladder through the cystic duct. When the sphincter of choledochus opens - with a general opening of the Sphincter of Oddi, the bile is secreted into the duodenum. Both empty into the duodenum.
Where is the hepatopancreatic ampulla located?
The hepatopancreatic ampulla is located in the duodenum, specifically at the point where the common bile duct and pancreatic duct meet and empty into the intestines. It is where bile from the liver and enzymes from the pancreas are released to help with digestion.
Into what structure does the gallbladder empty?
The duodenum
