Yes, both the salivary gland and the pancreas secrete amylase. Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates into smaller sugar molecules. In the salivary glands, amylase is produced in saliva to begin the digestion of starches in the mouth. In the pancreas, amylase is produced and released into the small intestine to further break down starches into simpler sugars.
