The hike to the peak of Huayna Picchu is about 1.2 miles and has an altitude gain of about 1,000 vertical feet. The path is steep enough in sections that hand ropes are necessary to balance as you haul yourself up the narrow and sometimes vertigo-inducing trail.
Pancreas Function. Measuring about 12 to 15 centimeter in length, pancreas is a glandular organ lying behind stomach in the abdomen and performing both endocrine as well as exocrine functions. The exocrine secretions (pancreatic juice) are released into the duodenum of small intestine through pancreatic duct.
The gallbladder stores bile that is produced in the liver. When fats enter the duodenum, the duodenum secretes the hormone cholecystokinin (CCK) into the blood stream which stimulates the contraction of the gall bladder and the opening of the hepatopancreatic ampulla of Vater.
