Glucagon binding to receptors on hepatocytes triggers the breakdown of glycogen into many glucose molecules, which are then released into the bloodstream. Explore the anatomy and roles of the stomach, gallbladder, and pancreas with Innerbody's interactive 3D model.
The pancreas produces pancreatic juice, which contains digestive enzymes and bicarbonate ions, and delivers it to the duodenum. As you move through the lesson, refer to the diagram below as a visual. Accessory Organs - The liver, pancreas, and gallbladder are considered accessory digestive organs, but their roles in the digestive system are vital.
Anatomy of the pancreas; drawing shows the pancreas, stomach, spleen, liver, bile ducts, gallbladder, small intestine, and colon. An inset shows the head, body, and tail of the pancreas. The bile duct and pancreatic duct are also shown.
The gallbladder stores and concentrates bile, releasing it when it is needed by the small intestine. The pancreas produces the enzyme- and bicarbonate-rich pancreatic juice and delivers it to the small intestine through ducts.
State the main digestive roles of the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. Identify three main features of liver histology that are critical to its function. Discuss the composition and function of bile. Identify the major types of enzymes and buffers present in pancreatic juice.
Summary. The stomach is located in the upper part of the abdomen. The digestive organs in the abdomen work together to absorb nutrients and move food through the digestion process. They include the...
The pancreas is located below and behind the stomach, in the curve of the duodenum, which is a part of the small intestine. The pancreas secretes fluids that help break down food in the small...
Osmosis Liver gallbladder and pancreas high-yield notes offers clear overviews with striking illustrations, tables, and diagrams.
The gallbladder is a gastrointestinal organ located within the right hypochondrial region of the abdomen. This intraperitoneal, pear-shaped sac lies within a fossa formed between the inferior aspects of the right and quadrate lobes of the liver.
Chemical digestion in the small intestine relies on the activities of three accessory digestive organs: the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder (Figure 21.7.1). The digestive role of the liver is to produce bile and export it to the duodenum. The gallbladder primarily stores, concentrates, and releases bile.
