_______ is Not an Accessory Digestive Gland

Question

_______ is not an accessory digestive gland.
A) Salivary gland
B) Liver
C) Pancreas
D) Duodenum

Accepted Answer

The duodenum is not an accessory digestive gland. It is the first part of the small intestine where most of the chemical digestion takes place with the help of enzymes from the accessory digestive glands such as the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. Salivary glands, liver, and pancreas are all accessory digestive glands that produce or secrete digestive juices to help break down food.
