The liver, pancreas, and salivary glands. (more added by 99silvermoon99) The three glands associated with the digestive system are the liver (secretes the bile stored in the gall bladder), the pancreas (secretes pancreatic juice, which produce enzymes that contribute to the breakdown of all categories of foodstuffs) and the salivary glands in the oral cavity (secretes saliva which: 1. cleanses the mouth, 2. dissolves food chemicals so they can be tasted, 3. moistens food and aids in compacting it into a bolus, 4. contains enzymes that begin the chemical breakdown of starchy foods.). edited by Jane_says123 on 6/3/09

∙ 15y agoThere are four accessory glands of the digestive system and they are the salivary glands, the pancreas, the liver and the gallbladder.
The salivary glands in mammals are exocrine glands that produce saliva. They also secrete amylase, an enzyme that breaks down starch into glucose.
The pancreas is both an endocrine gland (producing several important hormones, including insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin), as well as an exocrine gland, secreting pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes that pass to the small intestine. These enzymes help in the further breakdown of the carbohydrates, protein, and fat in the chyme.
The liver plays a major role in metabolism and has a number of functions in the body, including glycogen storage, decomposition of red blood cells, plasma protein synthesis, and detoxification. It produces bile, an alkaline compound which aids in digestion, via the emulsification of lipids. It also performs and regulates a wide variety of high-volume biochemical reactions requiring very specialized tissues.
The gallbladder is a small non-vital organ which aids in the digestive process and stores bile.

∙ 12y agoThe digestive anexxed glands, or acessory glands aid in the process of digestion. These organs secrete and produce materials that further digest food.
As an example, lipids cannot be digested normally so bile produced by the liver breaks down the lipids into smaller subunits.
