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.
These are the ducts that carry bile from the liver to the gallbladder and the duodenum. The flow of bile to and from the liver and gallbladder will often carry solidified bile or gallstones with it. These gallstones can become trapped in any of the ducts carrying bile to the duodenum. Bile flow is impeded and then becomes stagnant.
