Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
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: -Liver. Your liver makes a digestive juice called bile that helps digest fats and some vitamins. Bile ducts carry bile from your liver to your gallbladder for storage, or to the small intestine for use.

Detailed explanation-3: -The duodenum produces hormones and receives secretions from the liver (bile) and pancreas (pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes). These various hormones, fluids and enzymes facilitate chemical digestion in the duodenum while also ensuring the acidity of chyme coming from the stomach is neutralised.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your main pancreatic duct connects with your bile duct. This duct transports bile from your liver to your gallbladder. From the gallbladder, the bile travels to part of your small intestine called the duodenum. Both the bile and the pancreatic enzymes enter your duodenum to break down food.
