A piece of thread was tied tightly around an animal's pancreatic duct. The animal subsequently had difficulty in digesting food but did not get diabetes. Explain.
After tying a piece of thread around the animal's pancreatic duct, it gets closed. By this, the digestive enzymes present in the pancreatic juice cannot reach into small intestine. Animals feel difficulty to digest the food in the absence of pancreatic juice. However, the pancreas secretes insulin hormone directly in the blood by which the animal does not get diabetes.
