What do the pancreas and liver NOT secrete into the small intestines?
Hydrochloric acid (HCl)
Bile
Bicarbonate
Enzymes
Answer:-(a) hydrochloric acid (HCl)
Explanation:- hydrochloric acid is released from oxyntic or parietal cells of stomach , not from liver and pancreas. In stomach, this HCl provides acidic medium and activates pepsinogen to form active pepsin.
Bile is produced by liver and is secreted into small intestine via pancreas.
Bicarbonates is released by pancreas that neutralises the acidic chyme coming from stomach into small intestine, thus bicarbonate protects duodenal wall from acidic chyme.
Enzymes like trypsinogen, procarboxypeptidases , chymotrypsinogen, elastases, lipases etc. are released from pancreas into small intestine.
