Which two ducts join together to form the ampulla of vater hepatopancreatic ampulla?

The common bile duct and the pancreatic duct join together to form the ampulla of Vater, also known as the hepatopancreatic ampulla. This structure empties into the duodenum and regulates the flow of bile and pancreatic juices into the small intestine for digestion.


Duodenal ampulla is formed by fusion what?

The duodenal ampulla is formed by the fusion of the pancreatic duct (duct of Wirsung) with the common bile duct (duct of the liver). This union occurs at a structure called the hepatopancreatic ampulla (ampulla of Vater).


What two structures will be ligated for a cholecystectomy?

During a cholecystectomy, the cystic duct and the cystic artery are the two structures that are typically ligated. The cystic duct connects the gallbladder to the common bile duct, while the cystic artery supplies blood to the gallbladder. Ligation of these structures ensures that the gallbladder can be safely removed without causing complications.


Why do bile and pancreatic juice enter the duodenum through a common duct?

The pancreatic ducts (Wirsung, and sometimes when present the Santorini) enter the duodenum. The gallbladder duct proper is called the cystic duct, and it joins the main hepatic duct to form the choledochal duct. The choledochal duct in turns joins with Wirsung's duct in the head of the pancreas to enter the duodenum through the major papilla. None of these structures enter the colon.


Which duct carries a fluid rich in bicarbonate ions?

The pancreatic duct carries a fluid rich in bicarbonate ions. This fluid, produced by the pancreas, helps to neutralize the acidic chyme entering the small intestine from the stomach.

Does the pancreatic duct transport secretions from the pancreas to the duodenum?

Pancreatic digestive juices are carried by a tube-like structure known as the pancreatic duct.

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 sphincter controls the release of bile and pancreatic juice into the small intestine?

The sphincter of Oddi (hepatopancreatic sphincter), controls the release of pancreatic enzymes and bile into the duodenum. During digestion, intestinal phase signals stimulate the release of bile.
