Enzymes and bile are carried by the pancreatic duct and bile duct into the ____
A
duodenum
B
ileum
C
jejunum
D
large intestine
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The digestive enzymes (such as amylase, lipase, and trypsin) are released from the cells of the acini and flow into the pancreatic duct. The pancreatic duct joins the common bile duct at the ampulla of Vater, where both flow into the duodenum.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bile is stored in the gallbladder until it is needed. The pancreas makes enzymes that help digest proteins, fats, and carbs. It also makes a substance that neutralizes stomach acid. These enzymes and bile travel through special pathways (called ducts) into the small intestine, where they help to break down food.

Detailed explanation-3: -When food enters the stomach, these pancreatic juices are released into a system of ducts that culminate in the main pancreatic duct. The pancreatic duct joins the common bile duct to form the ampulla of Vater which is located at the first portion of the small intestine, called the duodenum.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pancreatic enzymes and bile enter the alimentary canal at the duodenum, which is the first segment of the small intestine. The pancreas secretes pancreatic enzymes through the pancreatic duct. The gallbladder secretes bile through the common bile duct.

Detailed explanation-5: -The papilla forms the main exit hole for the bile and pancreatic juices which flow down the bile duct and pancreatic duct.
