Question

Hepato-pancreatic duct opens into the duodenum and carries

• A. bile only
• B. pancreatic juice only
• C. both bile and pancreatic juice
• D. saliva

Answer 1

The correct option is C both bile and pancreatic juice

The duct of gall bladder along with hepatic duct from the liver forms the common bile duct. The bile duct and the pancreatic duct open together into the duodenum as a common hepato-pancreatic duct which carries both bile and pancreatic juice. Bile is secreted by the hepatic cells of liver and is stored further in a thin muscular sac called gall bladder. Secretion of pancreatic juices takes place through the exocrine part of pancreas which consists of round lobules called acini.

Saliva is produced by the salivary glands and it is released into the buccal cavity.
