The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Hepatopancreatic Duct:** - The hepatopancreatic duct is a channel that connects the liver and pancreas to the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). - It is important to recognize that the term "hepato" refers to the liver and "pancreatic" refers to the pancreas. 2. **Function of the Duct:** - The primary function of the hepatopancreatic duct is to transport digestive juices from both the liver and pancreas into the duodenum. - This duct serves as a common pathway for the secretions of both organs. 3. **Secretions Involved:** - The liver produces bile, which is essential for the emulsification and digestion of fats. - The pancreas secretes pancreatic juice, which contains various enzymes necessary for the digestion of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. 4. **Opening into the Duodenum:** - The hepatopancreatic duct opens into the duodenum, allowing both bile and pancreatic juice to enter the digestive tract at the same location. - This coordinated release enhances the efficiency of digestion. 5. **Conclusion:** - Since the hepatopancreatic duct carries both bile and pancreatic juice into the duodenum, the correct answer to the question is option C: both bile and pancreatic juice. **Final Statement:** Hence, the correct answer is option C, both bile and pancreatic juice. ---
