Verified by Experts

Cystic duct (Gall bladder and Liver), pancreatic duct (Pancreas) secrete bile juice and pancreatic juice through common hepatic - pancreatic duct in duodenum. It is guarded by sphincter called the sphincter of oddi.
Pancreatic juice possesses inactive enzyme like Trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, procarboxy peptidase and amylase, lipase and nuclease.
The secretion of pancreas shows following processes in digestion of protein, carbohydrates and fats.
(i) Carbohydrates of chyme get converted into disachheride by hydrolysis through pancreatic amylase.
Polysachharide (starch) `overset"Pancratic juice amylase"to` Disaccharide .
(ii) With the help of bile juice, fat is converted into di and monosaccharide by lipase.
Triglycerides `overset"Bile juice"to` Emulsified triglyccride `overset"Lipase"to` Diglycerides, Monoglycerides.
(iii) Proteins of chyme is digested in intestine by proteolytic enzymes present in pancreatic juice.
Proteins, peptones and Proteoses `underset"Carboxypeptidase"overset"Trypsin, Chymotrypsin"to` Dipeptides
