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.
bile ducts the canals or passageways that conduct bile. There are three bile ducts: the hepatic duct drains bile from the liver; the cystic duct is an extension of the gallbladder and conveys bile from the gallbladder. These two ducts may be thought of as branches that drain into the âtrunk,â or common bile duct. The common bile duct passes through the wall of the small intestine at the duodenum and joins with the pancreatic duct to form the hepatopancreatic ampulla, or ampulla of Vater. At the opening into the small intestine there is a sphincter that automatically controls the flow of bile into the intestine.
