Abstract

Ever since the first demonstration that the concentration of bicarbonate ion in mammalian pancreatic juice increased and chloride ion concentration decreased with increased secretory rate (Gamble and McIver 1928), investigators have tried to determine what process or processes account for these observations. Because the pancreas has a definite anatomical organization, there is the potential for modification of a primary secretion as fluid flows through the duct system. Three model systems have been suggested for the composition of the final secretion: 1) Anion exchange; 2) Admixture; and 3) Unicellular.
