HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -These juices travel through your pancreas via ducts. They empty into the upper part of your small intestine called the duodenum.

Detailed explanation-2: -After its passage through the stomach, ingested food turned into acidic chyme arrives in the first segment of the small intestine, a U-shaped tube called the duodenum. The duodenum produces hormones and receives secretions from the liver (bile) and pancreas (pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes).

Detailed explanation-3: -Intestinal juice or succus entericus is the alkaline yellowish watery fluid released by the glands lining the inner wall of the small intestine. The alkaline nature of the fluid helps it to counter the acidic chyme coming from the stomach.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pancreatic juice is secreted into the duodenum through duodenal papillae. Some individuals have also an accessory duct, named accessory pancreatic duct, which may be functional (that is, it also empties the contents of the exocrine pancreas into the duodenum) or non-functional.

Detailed explanation-5: -The pancreas is solid (acinar tissues), and contains drainage tubes (the pancreatic ductal system). The pancreatic juices are made in the acinar tissues, and passed by secretion into the tubes (ducts) for transport into the duodenum. The exit hole into the duodenum is called the papilla of Vater.
