The Pancreas secretes enzymes for digestion and aqueous bicarbonate (a base) to neutralize acid entering the duodenum (the first portion of the small intestine) from the stomach. The enzymatic component is secreted by the acinar cells of the pancreas, while the aqueous portion is secreted by the epithelium of the pancreatic ducts.
Here are some of the enzymes that are secreted by the acinar cells:
-Trypsinogen 1,2, and 3
-chymotrypsinogen
-proelastase 1 and 2
-procarboxypeptidase A1, A2, B1, and B2
-alpha amylase
-Triacylglycerol hydrolase
-Phospholipase A2
-Colipase 1 and 2.
The pancreatic duct cells (epithelium of the ducts) secrete primarily bicarbonate, but they also secrete Cl. You can also find Na and K in the aqueous portion of the secretion.
That answer for the what the pancreas secretes is: Insulin.
The pancreas secretes the pancreatic enzyme protease, pancreatic lipase, pancreatic amylase.

Where are most digestive enzymes produced?
Most digestive enzymes are produced in the stomach. You will find that with the complex ducts throughout the human body these enzymes can travel to other areas of the digestive system. These areas include the salivary glands, the stomach, the pancreas, and the intestines.
What are the enzymes produced by the esophagus?
The esophagus does not produce any enzymes. Even so, sometimes digestive enzymes produced in the stomach can make their way into the esophagus due to a hernia or a condition called gastroesophagic reflux.
Enzymes that digest carbs are produced by what organs?
stomach pancreas gall bladder
Where else are enzymes produced except the mouth stomach and pancreas?
gall bladder, small intestine
What is the acid secreated by the stomach?
Hydochloric acid is produced in the stomach to a) kill pathogens in our food b) gives optimum pH for enzymes to work in
What enzymes are in the esophogus?
The esophagus does not produce any enzymes. Even so, sometimes digestive enzymes produced in the stomach can make their way into the esophagus due to a hernia or a condition called gastroesophagic reflux.
Which process in a human requires that enzymes be secreted into gastrointestinal tract?
Chemical digestion in humans requires enzymes to be secreted into the gastrointestinal tract. These enzymes are produced by the pancreas and stomach, among other organs.
What parts of the body produce enzymes?
The stomach contains enzymes that break down protein.
Explain how bile produces by the liver and enzymes produced in the pancreas function in the small intestine?
The bile produced in the liver eats the fats in the food and the enzymes produced in the pancreas breaks down the fats before the the bile eats it because the enzymes break down the fats in to smaller particlesIt helps neutralize the stomach acid so it wont burn it.as part of the digestive system, the pancreas produces enzymes that flow into the small intestine and help break down starches, proteins, and fats.
Where enzymes are produced?
inside the cells of an organizism
What PH would work for enzymes produced in the stomach?
It's about 7.5, which means that it is slightly basic. The stomach is acidic, so not only does the basic pH of the small intestine allow the enzymes to function, but it also counteracts with the acidity of the stomach.
Numerous different enzymes are produced by the cells?
Yes, enzymes are produced by cells.
