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.
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.
What is moved through the pyloric sphincter?
Chyme, which is a mixture of partially digested food and stomach acids, is moved through the pyloric sphincter from the stomach to the small intestine for further digestion and absorption of nutrients.
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 is the fluid mixture that moves from the stomach to the Pyloric sphincter called?
The fluid mixture that moves from the stomach to the pyloric sphincter is called chyme. Chyme is a semi-liquid substance formed when food is mixed with gastric juices, including enzymes and hydrochloric acid, during digestion. It is gradually released from the stomach into the small intestine through the pyloric sphincter for further digestion and nutrient absorption.

What is the location of the hepatopancreatic sphincter through which pancreatic secretions and bile pass?
The hepatopancreatic sphincter is located at the junction of the hepatopancreatic ampulla and the duodenum.small intestineThe Sphincter of Oddi (the Hepatopancreatic Sphincter) is located in the second part of the duodenum.The Sphincter of Oddi is located in the second part of the duodenum. This Hepatopancreatic Sphincter controls the flow of pancreatic and bile fluids. It was named after the Ruggero Oddi the anatomist who first despcribed it.I am going to go out on a limb and guess that it is located in the pancreas?

What is the peritoneal membrane that attaches the stomach and duodenum to the liver?
The stomach empties into the duodenum. The liver secretes bile into the common hepatic duct. If the sphincter choledochus is closed (it usually is), then the bile refluxes into the gall bladder through the cystic duct. When the sphincter of choledochus opens - with a general opening of the Sphincter of Oddi, the bile is secreted into the duodenum. Both empty into the duodenum.
Valve preventing movement of chyme from the duodenum into the stomach?
The pyloric sphincter, or valve, is a strong ring of smooth muscle at the end of the pyloric canal and lets food pass from the stomach to the duodenum. It receives sympathetic innervation from celiac ganglion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pylorus
Where does pancreatic juice perform its digestive role and how does it get there?
Pancreatic juice performs its functions in the duodenum. It gets there by traveling through the pancreatic duct then enters the duodenum through the hepatopancreatic ampulla (ampulla of Vater).
The region of the stomach that empties into the duodenum is the?
The region of the stomach that empties into the duodenum is the pyloric region, specifically through the pyloric sphincter. This sphincter regulates the flow of partially digested food (chyme) from the stomach into the small intestine for further digestion and absorption.
What connects the esophagus and duodenum?
The connection between the esophagus and duodenum is through the stomach, specifically the lower esophageal sphincter and the pyloric sphincter. Food travels from the esophagus to the stomach through the lower esophageal sphincter and then from the stomach to the duodenum through the pyloric sphincter.
What regulates the exit of partlially digested food?
The duodenum has a sphincter that controls the opening of the stomach to dump partially digested food into the small intestines. This sphincter can be weakened by stomach ulcers. After the duodenum, food stuffs continues through the small intestines where most digestion takes place.
What is moved through the pyloric sphincter?
Chyme, which is a mixture of partially digested food and stomach acids, is moved through the pyloric sphincter from the stomach to the small intestine for further digestion and absorption of nutrients.
What is the Sphincter muscle at end of digestive tract?
The spincters located in the esophagus are: the upper sphincter at the top and the lower (the cardiac sphincter) at the bottom of the esophagus. They regulate the food passing through the esophagus.
Where On a dog does the stomach empties caudally into the?
In dogs, the stomach empties caudally into the small intestine, specifically into the duodenum. This process occurs through the pyloric sphincter, which regulates the passage of partially digested food from the stomach into the duodenum for further digestion and nutrient absorption.
