Mt Huayna Picchu marks the north end of the site; to the south stands Mt Machu Picchu. Both offer spectacular views, but while Mt Huayna Picchu turns away would-be visitors, the summit of Mt Machu Picchu nearly always stands empty. The reason may be the difference in height. At 1,640ft, Mt Machu Picchu is more than twice as tall as its sister peak.
The pancreatic duct empties into the duodenum at the duodenal. papilla, alongside the common bile duct (Figure 4). Figure 4. Normal anatomy. The duct of Wirsung is the main pancreatic duct extending from the tail of the organ to the major duodenal papilla, or ampulla of Vater. The widest part of the duct is in. the head of the pancreas (4 mm), tapering to 2 mm at the tail in adults. The duct of Wirsung is close, and almost parallel, to the distal common bile duct before. combining to form a common duct channel prior to approaching the duodenum.
These enzymes are passed into the duodenum through a channel called the pancreatic duct. In the duodenum, the enzymes begin the process of breaking down a variety of food components, including, proteins, fats, and starches. Acute pancreatitis occurs when the pancreas suddenly becomes inflamed but improves.
