WHy must there be pancreatic juice in the duodenum even if no food is currently being digested? A- Even if there isnt chyme in the duodenum, stomahc acid might leak into the duodenum. the trypsin in pancreatic juice neutralizes that B- We eat a lot, so we're always digesting food in the duodenum C - the process of fat breakdown is slow, so lipids could stay in the duodenum for over a day, so we need a steady supply of pancreatic lipase. D- Even if there isn't chyme in the duodenum, stomach acid might leak into the duodenum. The bicarbonate in pancreatic juice neutralizes that
When the duodenu is actively digesting food, the Sphincter of Oddi released both bile and pancreatic juice into the duodenum
Between meals, when the Sphincter of Oddi is closed, an accessory pancreatic duct remains open, allowing a slow but continual flow of pancreatic juice into the duodenum between meals
