stored in the gall
bladder, then
joiners the
pancreatic juices
to empty into the
small intestines.
Purpose of
Pancreas
Juices
The smell and taste
of food as well as
the eating of food
triggers the bile and
pancreas enzymes to
mix and be released

neutralize the
stomach acids to
digest food into
smaller pieces.

the pancreas is to
the function of
