Hi, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together. The hepatopancreatic ampulla empties its contents into which part of the small intestine. Is it answer choice? A the duodenum answer choice. B the Jejunum answer choice C the ilium or answer choice D the C. Let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following answer choices is the part of the small intestine that the hepatopancreatic ulla empties its contents into. So in order to solve this question, we have to recall what we have learned about the different parts of the small intestine and the hepatopancreatic pila to determine which part of the small intestine. Does it empty its contents into and looking at our answer choices, we can immediately eliminate answer choice. D the sm as the sem is part of the large intestine and not the small intestine. So answer choice D cannot be the correct answer. And we also know that the hepatopancreatic ampulla is also known as the Ampulla of Vader, which the ampulla of Vader empties its contents into the first part of the small intestine where the majority of chemical digestion occurs. And we can recall that the first part of the small intestine is answer choice. A the duodenum, which is where the majority of chemical digestion occurs with the help of the enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the liver and gallbladder. So the hepatopancreatic ampulla or the ampulla evader empties its contents into the duodenum and all other answer choices are incorrect. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
