Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
- The pancreas plays an important role in food digestion. Its exocrine portion secretes a fluid called pancreatic juice that contains enzymes such as lipase, amylase, trypsinogen, procarboxypeptidase, chymotrypsinogen, nucleases and elastase. The pancreatic duct unites with the common bile duct and both these ducts open into the duodenum. In this manner, the pancreatic juices reach the duodenum to perform their digestive activity. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
