  • Various types of movements are generated by the muscularis layer of the small intestine.
  • These movements help in a thorough mixing of the food with various secretions in the intestine and thereby facilitate digestion. 
  • The bile, pancreatic juice and intestinal juice are the secretions released into the small intestine. 
  • Pancreatic juice and bile are released through the hepato-pancreatic duct. 
  • The pancreatic juice contains inactive enzymes – trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, procarboxypeptidase, amylases, lipases and nucleases. 
  • Trypsinogen is activated by an enzyme, enterokinase, secreted by the intestinal mucosa into active trypsin, which in turn activates the other enzymes in the pancreatic juice. 
  • The bile released into the duodenum contains bile pigments (bilirubin and biliverdin), bile salts, cholesterol and phospholipids but no enzymes. 
  • Bile helps in emulsification of fats, i.e., breaking down of the fats into very small micelles.
  • Bile also activates lipases.

The bile, pancreatic juice and intestinal juice are the secretions released into the small intestine. Hence, the correct answer is option d.
