Picture of the duodenum and hepatopancreatic sphincter?
I'm unable to display images. However, the duodenum is the first part of the small intestine where bile and pancreatic secretions enter through the hepatopancreatic sphincter, also known as the sphincter of Oddi. This sphincter regulates the flow of bile and pancreatic juices into the duodenum for digestion.
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.
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.
What does the hepatopancreatic ampula do?
The hepatopancreatic ampulla is a small chamber where the bile duct and main pancreatic duct join before emptying their secretions into the duodenum. It regulates the flow of bile and pancreatic enzymes into the small intestine to aid in digestion.
Where does the bile duct enter the duodenum?
The bile duct enters the duodenum at a small opening called the major duodenal papilla, located near the beginning of the duodenum. This opening allows bile from the liver and gallbladder to enter the duodenum to aid in the digestion of fats.

How does bile get from the liver to the duodenum?
After it is made in the liver, bile is stored in the gallbadder, which is located just behind the liver. The bile duct links the gall bladder with the duodenum. When the partially digested stomach contents enter the duodenum, the bile travels from the gallbladder, through the bile duct and into the duodenum.
What is the section of the small intestine that receives bile pancreatic secretions and food from the stomach?

What structure empties bile into the duodenum?
The common bile duct is the structure that empties bile into the duodenum. It combines bile from the liver and gallbladder and carries it to the duodenum to aid in digestion.
Does the bile duct join the small intestine at the duodenum?
A few inches into the duodenum is the hepato-pancreatic ampulla, which is the site where the pancreatic duct and the common bile duct of the liver enter.
What is the function of the dunodenum?
IF you mean the "duodenum" its the first part of the small intestines where the dissolved food from the stomach is MIXED with the bile salts and the pancreatic secretions.
How do the secretions produced by the accessory structures enter the gastrointestinal tract?

Is liver a endocrine or exocrine gland?
liver is an exocrine gland coz its secretions are not poured into blood strem.
Where does the common bile duct empties?
The common bile duct empties into the duodenum, which is the first part of the small intestine. This connection allows bile produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder to be released into the digestive system to aid in the digestion and absorption of fats.
Where does bile act in the alimentary canal?
Bile does not act in the alimentary canal until fatty foods enter the duodenum. The bile is produced in the liver, and then held in the gallbladder until it is needed.
What does the hepatopancreatic ampula do?
The hepatopancreatic ampulla is a small chamber where the bile duct and main pancreatic duct join before emptying their secretions into the duodenum. It regulates the flow of bile and pancreatic enzymes into the small intestine to aid in digestion.
