The pancreatic ducts are a series of tubes that transport digestive enzymes and fluids from the pancreas to the small intestine. These ducts play a crucial role in digestion by delivering enzymes that help break down food, particularly fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. The main duct, known as the main pancreatic duct, merges with the bile duct before entering the small intestine. This connection allows for the coordinated release of bile and pancreatic juices, which are essential for effective digestion and nutrient absorption. Proper functioning of the pancreatic ducts is vital for maintaining digestive health.
