Question

34 what accessory organ is attached to the duodenum and secretes fluid rich in digestive enzymes? multiple choice pancreas parotid gland gallbladder stomach

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The pancreas is an accessory organ of the digestive system. It is connected to the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). The exocrine part of the pancreas secretes pancreatic juice which contains multiple digestive enzymes like amylase (for carbohydrate digestion), lipase (for lipid digestion), and proteases (for protein digestion). The parotid gland is a salivary gland (secretes saliva with amylase) and is not attached to the duodenum. The gallbladder stores bile (produced by the liver) which helps in fat emulsification but does not secrete digestive - enzyme - rich fluid. The stomach is not an accessory organ (it is a main digestive organ) and its secretions (like pepsinogen, hydrochloric acid) are different from the pancreatic enzyme - rich fluid.

Answer:

Pancreas
