Cholecystokinin
The duodenum
The pancreas and the gallbladder are the associated glands connected to the duodenum. The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes into the duodenum to help with the breakdown of food, while the gallbladder stores and releases bile produced by the liver to aid in the digestion and absorption of fats in the duodenum.
Bile from the gallbladder travels to the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine) through the common bile duct. Once in the duodenum, bile aids in the digestion and absorption of fats from the food we eat.
The duodenum is where a lot of the food breakdown in the small intestines happens. It is the first place the food goes after it leaves the stomach, and it is where it is mixed with the enzymes from the gallbladder and pancreas.
duodenum
They secrete their products into the duodenum of the small intestine.
part of the small intestine called the duodenum.
Bile is produced in the liver, stored in the gallbladder, and released into the duodenum. When fats are detected in the duodenum, the hormone cholecystokinin triggers the gallbladder to contract, releasing bile into the small intestine through the common bile duct. From there, bile helps with the digestion and absorption of fats in the small intestine.
jejunum
The duodenum (part of the small intestine) is where the hepatopancreatic duct (common duct from the liver and pancreas) empties both bile and enzymes from the pancreas for chemical digestion.The duodenum or small intestine.
The gallbladder stores bile which is released when food containing fat enters the digestive tract
Bile is stored in the gallbladder, prior to secretion in to the duodenum.
