THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

Detailed explanation-1: -The human pancreas secretes an impressive amount of sodium-bicarbonate–rich fluid with each meal. The majority of fluid and bicarbonate in pancreatic juice arises from the pancreatic duct cells, although they comprise only 5% of the pancreatic mass.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ductal cells of the pancreas form the epithelial lining of the branched tubes that deliver enzymes produced by pancreatic acinar cells into the duodenum. In addition, these cells secrete bicarbonate that neutralizes stomach acidity.

Detailed explanation-3: -The human exocrine pancreas secretes 1-2 liters of pancreatic juice per day. When stimulated, the pancreas secretes alkaline pancreatic juice containing copious amounts of bicarbonate (HCO3-) (23, 74). HCO3-plays essential roles in the digestive system.
