Is the stomach connected to the pancreas?
The stomach leads into the first part of the small intestine, which is called the duodenum. The pancreas also leads into the duodenum, by a duct (tube) called the pancreatic duct. So both connect to the small intestine, but the stomach does not connect to the pancreas. For a diagram see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancreas
What area of the duodenum where the common bile duct and the pancreatic duct empty is called?
The area of the duodenum where the common bile duct and the pancreatic duct empty is called the major duodenal papilla. This is where bile and pancreatic enzymes are released into the duodenum to aid in digestion.
The pancreas is an organ connected to the digestive tract of humans by a duct through which digestive enzymes flow?
The pancreas is responsible for producing enzymes that help with digestion in the small intestine. These enzymes are released through a duct that connects the pancreas to the small intestine, where they aid in the breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats from food. This process helps the body absorb essential nutrients for energy and other bodily functions.
Where are located the ampulla of Vater and the sphincter of Oddi?
The ampulla of Vater is located where the common bile duct and the pancreatic duct join and drain into the duodenum. The sphincter of Oddi is a muscular valve that surrounds the ampulla of Vater, controlling the flow of bile and pancreatic juices into the small intestine.
What organ transports bile from the gallbladder?
The bile duct transports bile from the gallbladder to the small intestine.
Does the pancreatic duct transport secretions from the pancreas to the duodenum?
Pancreatic digestive juices are carried by a tube-like structure known as the pancreatic duct.
How do the secretions produced by the accessory structures enter the gastrointestinal tract?
The secretions produced by accessory structures, such as the pancreas and liver, enter the gastrointestinal tract through ducts. These ducts connect the accessory structures to various parts of the digestive system, allowing the secretions to be released directly into the digestive tract where they can aid in the process of digestion.
The duodenal ampulla receives secretions from the?
pancreatic duct

What is blockage in pancreas?
Blockage of the pancreatic duct causes nutrient malabsorption.
What ducts that transport emzymes from the pancreas to the duodenum?
The pancreas sends digestive enzymes such as trypsin, chymotrypsin, elastase, carboxypeptidase, pancreatic lipase and pancreatic amylase to the small intestine via the pancreatic duct. Note that it is also an organ of the endocrine system. This means that in addition to releasing enzymes to the digestive tract, it also secretes hormones (insulin, glucagon, somatostatin) directly into the bloodstream.
What is the area of the small intestine called where liquids from the liver and pancreas enter?
pancreatic duct
What are exocrine secretions?
secretions of glands which are first secreated into gland acni & then poured via duct like exocrine part of pancreas gland
What happens if the pancreatic duct are ligated?
Your pancreas will become inflamed, which in all senses is not good for your body.
Which duct carries a fluid rich in bicarbonate ions?
The pancreatic duct carries a fluid rich in bicarbonate ions. This fluid, produced by the pancreas, helps to neutralize the acidic chyme entering the small intestine from the stomach.
What is another name for pancreatic ducts?
The other name for pancreatic ducts is duct of Wirsung. It joins the pancreas to the bile ducts so that pancreatic juices can aid in digestion of your food.
What does the hepatopancreatic ampula do?
The hepatopancreatic ampulla is a small chamber where the bile duct and main pancreatic duct join before emptying their secretions into the duodenum. It regulates the flow of bile and pancreatic enzymes into the small intestine to aid in digestion.
