What else can I help you with?
The pancreatic duct transports secretions from the pancreas to the?
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.
How do the secretions produced by the accessory structures enter the gastrointestinal tract?
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.
What adjusts the pH of chyme entering the duodenum?
The pancreas secretes bicarbonate ions to neutralize the acidic chyme entering the duodenum from the stomach, raising the pH of the chyme and creating a more optimal environment for digestion by pancreatic enzymes.
What is the secretions of this gland join with bile to enter the duodenum?
The secretions of the pancreas join with bile from the liver to enter the duodenum. These secretions contain enzymes that aid in the digestion of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins.
Which section of the small intestine receives secretions from the liver and the pancreas?
The duodenum
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.
What organ sends enzymes via duct in an alkaline fluid into the duodenum?
The pancreas sends enzymes in the alkaline pancreatic juice into the duodenum.
Is the stomach connected to the pancreas?
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
How does pancreatic juice get into the alimentary canal of a frog?
Pancreatic juice in a frog travels from the pancreas through a duct that empties into the duodenum of the small intestine. When the frog eats, the presence of food in the duodenum triggers the release of pancreatic juice to aid in digestion.
What is Duodenum secreted into?
juices from liver, pancreas, and gallbladder
What organ produces pancreatic juices?
The pancreas produces pancreatic juices, which contain enzymes that help with digestion. These enzymes are released into the small intestine to break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats from food.
What is the pancreas attached to the small intestine?
pancreas is an independent gland. The pancreas produces pancreatic juice which contains enzymes for digestion. But, the pancreas is connected to the small intestine through the pancreatic duct at the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine connected from the stomach).
