What are the three digestive helpers in the small intestine?
The intestinal mucosa produces most of the secretions that enter the small intestine (the mucosa of the small intestine produces secretions that primarily contain mucus, electrolytes, and water). The secretions of the liver and the pancreas also enter the small intestine and play essential roles in the process of digestion.

In humans, structures that release digestive secretions directly into the small intestine include the pancreas and the liver. The pancreas produces digestive enzymes that aid in the breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, while the liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to facilitate fat digestion. Together, these secretions play a crucial role in the digestive process, ensuring proper nutrient absorption.
Do all of the accessory organs of the digestive system send secretions to the small intestine?
Not all accessory organs of the digestive system send secretions directly to the small intestine. The pancreas, liver, and gallbladder do contribute secretions: the pancreas releases digestive enzymes, the liver produces bile (stored in the gallbladder), and both are delivered to the small intestine. However, other accessory organs, such as the salivary glands, primarily contribute to digestion in the mouth rather than directly to the small intestine.
Which organ produces digestive enzymes?
The pancreas is the main digestive enzyme-producing organ in the body.
Which section of the small intestine receives secretions from the liver and the pancreas?
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 are the special roles of liver pancreas in digestive system?
the pancreas add digestive juices to break down food
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.
What other organs outside the digestive tube contributes to digestion?
The pancreas, liver and the appendix however is not beneficial to the digestive system directly.
What gland is called mixed gland?
The pancreas is a mixed gland because it has both endocrine and exocrine secretions. On the endocrine side there is insulin and glucagon to regulate our blood sugar levels. One the exocrine side the pancreas produces a number of digestive enzymes which empty into the duodenum of the small intestine to chemically digest our ingested foodstuffs.
What is part of the gastrointestinal system but not the gastrointestinal tract?
I think you are looking for liver and pancreas, these are accessory digestive organs that produce enzymes and emulsifiers that are secreted into the digestive tract.
What Accessory organs that empty their contents into the small intestines?
Accessory organs that empty their contents into the small intestines include the liver, which secretes bile into the duodenum, and the pancreas, which releases digestive enzymes and bicarbonate into the small intestine to aid in digestion.
