What substance in pancreatic juice neutralizes the HCL?
bicarbonate is present in it which neutralizes the hcl
Pancreatic juice contain copious quantities of sodium bicarbonate. Where is it produced?
The sodium bicarbonate found in pancreatic juice is produced in the lungs. The pulmonary transfer tubules allow transfer of the substance to the pancreas, where it can be used to neutralize the pH of the stomach in protein digestion.
Which substance neutralizes stomach acid as chyme enters the small intestine?
Bicarbonate is the secretion that neutralizes stomach acid as chyme enters the small intestine. Bicarbonate is necessary because chyme is highly acidic. Bicarbonate is created in the pancreas.
Is sodium bicarbonate a pure substance or mixture?

How do the accessory organ aid digestion?
In addition to the alimentary canal, vertebrate digestive systems include the following accessory organs: The liver secretes a substance called bile into the gallbladder, where it is stored for eventual use in digestion. Bile is a fluid mixture composed of bile pigment and bile salt. Bile pigment is a waste product resulting from destroyed red blood cells. Bile salt plays an important role in preparing fats for digestion. The gallbladder stores and concentrates bile secreted by the liver. Fatty food in the small intestine triggers contractions in the gallbladder, releasing bile into the bile duct, which transports it into the small intestine. The pancreas produces a fluid mixture, called pancreatic juice, composed of digestive enzymes and a bicarbonate buffer, which balances the pH levels in the digestive tract. The pancreas secretes pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes into the small intestine, where it is used to break down proteins, starches, and fats.
