The small intestine is where most chemical digestion takes place. Most of the digestive enzymes in the small intestine are secreted by the pancreas and enter the small intestine via the pancreatic duct. These enzymes enter the small intestine in response to the hormone cholecystokinin, which is produced in response to the presence of nutrients.
The pancreatic acini form ducts that produce and secrete pancreatic juice through the pancreatic duct and into duodenum of the small intestine. In the small intestine pancreatic juice help to digest carbohydrates, proteins, and fats and play a role in creating a normal ph in the small intestine.
