The hike to the peak of Huayna Picchu is about 1.2 miles and has an altitude gain of about 1,000 vertical feet. The path is steep enough in sections that hand ropes are necessary to balance as you haul yourself up the narrow and sometimes vertigo-inducing trail.
Pancreas Function. Measuring about 12 to 15 centimeter in length, pancreas is a glandular organ lying behind stomach in the abdomen and performing both endocrine as well as exocrine functions. The exocrine secretions (pancreatic juice) are released into the duodenum of small intestine through pancreatic duct.
Lipids are digested in the duodenum and absorbed in the ileum. Digestion of lipids begins in the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine. The duodenum received secretions from the gall bladder and the pancreas. The liver secretes bile which is an alkaline greenish-yellow liquid. Bile is stored in the gall bladder. It enters the duodenum via the bile duct.
