Question

The three secretions meeting the food in small intestine are

• A. Bile juice, pancreatic juice and intestinal juice
• B. Pancreatic, intestinal and gastric juice
• C. Bile, pancreatic and gastric juice
• D. Bile, gastric juice and saliva

Answer 1

The correct option is A Bile juice, pancreatic juice and intestinal juice

Various types of movements are generated by the muscularis layer of the small intestine. These movements help in a thorough mixing up of the food with various secretions in the intestine and thereby facilitate digestion. The bile, pancreatic juice and the intestinal juice are the secretions released into the small intestine. Pancreatic juice and bile are released through the hepato-pancreatic duct. The intestinal mucosal epithelium has goblet cells, which secrete mucus. The secretions of the brush border cells of the mucosa along with the secretions of the goblet cells constitute the intestinal juice or succus entericus.
