Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pancreas is the organ that adds exocrine secretions (pancreatic juice) to the duodenum via a duct. These secretions contain enzymes that help break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in the small intestine. The other structures listed do not perform this function. The pylorus is the opening between the stomach and small intestine, the rectum is the final portion of the large intestine before the anus, and the small intestine is responsible for most nutrient absorption.
