main pancreatic duct to the common bile duct and then into the duodenum.
Pancreatic juice includes sodium bicarbonate (alkalizer) and the enzymes:
trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, amylase, and lipase.
Your pancreas is one of your vital organs. It is destroyed by acidosis and
harmful chemicals. What destroys the liver also destroys the pancreas.
Spiritually speaking, your pancreas is tied to your thought processes and how
they manifest.
LIVER
Your liver can be compared to a huge chemical factory that supplies a whole
city with its functional (metabolic) needs. It has been said that it would
require 500 acres of land to build such a factory. Your liver has so many
different functions that researchers still haven’t discovered them all. It is
enough to say that we should take care of this most precious organ.
The liver is the largest organ in your body and carries on the most
functions. It is situated mostly on your right side beneath your diaphragm,
level with the bottom of your sternum. The bottom of the liver is concave and
covers your stomach, duodenum (the first portion of the small intestines) ,
hepatic flexure of the colon (upper right turn), right adrenal gland, and the
upper portion of the right kidney.
Your liver has four lobes and is covered by a thick, tough, fibrous
membrane called the Glisson’s capsule.
All your blood vessels and hepatic ducts enter the liver at the hilus. There
are many small intrahepatic bile ducts running through the liver, all leading
into the main hepatic duct, which joins the cystic duct from the gallbladder,
which then forms the “common bile duct.” This common bile duct then enters
the upper portion of your small intestine, called the duodenum, at the papilla
of Vater. This is the main digestive area of the body.
The functional parts of your liver are the liver lobules, consisting of the
liver cells (hepatocytes), which are permeated by blood capillaries called
sinusoids. The sinusoids are lined with the Kupffer cells (macrophages),
which are the immune cells of the liver.
