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.
Bile, containing the substances just mentioned as well as cholesterol, phospholipids, water, Na, K, C1, Ca, and HCO, is secreted into the bile duct which eventually drains into the duodenum. D3uring periods where the digestive processes are somewhat slowed, as in between meals, the duodenal orifice of the duct is closed, causing the bile to âback ups and eventually enter the gall- bladder where it is stored.
