Science" Accessory Digestive Organs - The Path of Food Through the Animal Body - Animal Life - THE LIVING WORLD Unit Six. Animal Life 25. The Path of Food Through the Animal Body 25.8. The Pancreas The pancreas, a large gland situated near the junction of the stomach and the small intestine (see figure 25.5), is one of the accessory organs that contribute secretions to the digestive tract. Pancreatic fluid also contains bicarbonate, which neutralizes the HCl from the stomach and gives the chyme in the duodenum a slightly alkaline pH. In addition to its exocrine role in digestion, the pancreas also functions as an endocrine gland, secreting several hormones into the blood that control the blood levels of glucose and other nutrients. Figure 25.16. The Liver and Gallbladder The liver is the largest internal organ of the body. The bile salts play a very important role in the digestion of fats. After it is produced in the liver, bile is stored and concentrated in the gallbladder (the green organ in figure 25.16). Figure 25.17. Regulatory Functions of the Liver Key Learning Outcome 25.8.
