What is "pancreatic duct"?
The pancreatic duct is a vital part of the digestive system in the human body. It is responsible for transporting pancreatic juices, which contain digestive enzymes, from the pancreas to the small intestine. These enzymes aid in the digestion and absorption of nutrients from the food we consume. The pancreatic duct plays a crucial role in maintaining proper digestive function and overall health.
