Is enterokinase a component of pancreatic juice?

No; insulin is not considered part of pancreatic juice. Pancreatic juice is one of the two types of secretions that come from the pancreas. The juice is mostly water, but also contains important substances such as bicarbonate (a buffer used to decrease acidity), salt, and pancreatic enzymes (to digest food). A hormone called secretin stimulates the secretion of pancreatic juice, which enters the small intestine to have its main effect. The other major pancreatic secretions are hormonal. These include insulin, glucagon, and others. These hormones are secreted directly into the blood stream, as opposed to being secreted into the small intestine like the pancreatic juice. Insulin secretion is regulated by blood sugar levels.


What organ makes and releases juice into small intestine to make food less acid?

The organ that makes and releases juice into the small intestine to help neutralize stomach acid is the pancreas. It produces pancreatic juice, which contains bicarbonate, an alkaline substance that neutralizes the acidity of chyme coming from the stomach. This process is essential for creating an optimal environment for digestive enzymes in the small intestine to function effectively.


What makes an Alkaline an Alkaline?

An alkaline substance is characterized by having a pH level higher than 7. This means it has more hydroxide ions (OH-) than hydrogen ions (H+) in solution. Alkaline substances tend to be bases that can neutralize acids.


Where is pancreatic juice produced?

The pancreas! This remarkable organ does two things, the first is that it makes pancreatic 'juice' to directly assist with the digestion process in the small intestine; the second is that is also makes insulin, which goes into the blood to regulate blood sugar levels.

What happens in digestion when bile duct is blocked?

if bile duct is completely blocked then the bile juice and bile salt will not be secreted and the digestion of fats will not be done. the food coming from the stomach is acidic and has to be made alkaline for the pancreatic enzymes to act. bile juice from liver accomplishes this in addition to acting on fats. fats are present in the intestine in the form of large globule which makes it difficult for enzymes to act on them. bile salts break them down into smaller globules increasing the efficiency of enzyme action. alll this cannot take place if the bile duct is blocked.
