A cause of pancreatitis can be autodigestion by the activation, within the pancreas, of:
1. bile
2. bacterial
3. carboxypeptidase
4. trypsin

The serous secretions [enzyme rich] are stimulated by the hormone:

A type of capillaries with discontinuous endothelium seen in liver are known as:

The common bile duct is formed when the common hepatic duct merges with the:
1. Duct of Rivinus
2. cystic duct

After digestion, monoglycerides and fatty acids associate with bile salts and phopholipids to form:
1. chylomicrons
2. micelles
3. globules
4. lipoproteins
