The pancreas provides and secretes digestive enzymes such as amylase, trypsin, proteases and lipase to the small intestine (duodenum). These enzymes help to break down fats, carbohydrates, proteins and starches.

Enzyme secreted by acinar cells of pancreas?

Acinar cells of the pancreas secrete digestive enzymes that play a crucial role in the digestion of food. These enzymes include amylase (for carbohydrate digestion), lipase (for fat digestion), and proteases such as trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen (for protein digestion). They are released in an inactive form to prevent self-digestion of the pancreas and are activated in the small intestine. This coordinated release allows for efficient digestion of nutrients in the gastrointestinal tract.
