Detailed explanation-1: -Your pancreas creates natural juices called pancreatic enzymes to break down foods. These juices travel through your pancreas via ducts. They empty into the upper part of your small intestine called the duodenum. Each day, your pancreas makes about 8 ounces of digestive juice filled with enzymes.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The pancreatic duct, or duct of Wirsung (also, the major pancreatic duct due to the existence of an accessory pancreatic duct), is a duct joining the pancreas to the common bile duct. This supplies it with pancreatic juice from the exocrine pancreas, which aids in digestion.

Detailed explanation-4: -Digestive enzymes synthesized and stored in the zymogen granule are available for transport and release into the lumen of the pancreatic acinus and transport through the pancreatic ductal system into the intestine.

Detailed explanation-5: -This mixture is called the pancreatic juice and when stimulated, it empties into the pancreatic duct, which connects to the common bile duct and eventually makes its way into the small intestine. The pancreas produces amylase, which breaks down alpha glycosidic linkages found in starch and glycogen.
