The pancreatic duct

Explanation:

The pancreatic duct is formed when the many tiny tubes from exocrine part of the pancreas are joined together. The exocrine part of the pancreas consists of pancreatic acinar cells. These cells serve to secrete the digestive pancreatic juice rich in digestive enzymes.

The pancreatic juice is released into the pancreatic duct via tiny tubes. The pancreatic duct opens into the duodenum and releases the pancreatic juice into the duodenum of the small intestine.
