What cells in the pancreas secrete the NaHCO3- that forms part of the digestive fluids in the small intestine?

In the pancreas, the cells responsible for secreting bicarbonate (NaHCO3-) are the ductal cells. These cells line the pancreatic ducts and play a crucial role in neutralizing the acidic chyme that enters the small intestine from the stomach, creating an optimal environment for digestive enzymes to function. The bicarbonate is produced in response to hormonal signals, particularly secretin, which is released when acidic contents enter the duodenum.

They have capillaries and a lacteal that lead to the circulatory and lymph systems to transport nutrients that are absorbed.
