Pancreatic juices: Fluids made by the pancreas that contain digestive enzymes. The pancreas is a spongy, tube-shaped organ about 6 inches long. It is located in the back of the abdomen, behind the stomach. The head of the pancreas is on the right side of the abdomen. It is connected to the duodenum, the upper end of the small intestine.
The pancreatic juice flows from the acinar cells to the first part of the small intestine (duodenum). The juice then mixes with the food as it leaves the stomach. The juice has high concentrations of bicarbonate which neutralizes stomach acid.Once in the intestine, the zymogens become active enzymes.he endocrine pancreas secretes substances into the bloodstream. The two glands work together during meals to digest the food (the exocrine pancreas) and to signal the rest of the body that nutrients are being digested and absorbed and on their way to other cells of the body (the endocrine pancreas).
