Amylase is the enzyme made in the salivary glands and the pancreas. Its function is to break down complex carbohydrates, sometimes called starches.. In the mouth they are called salivary amylase and in the small intestine they are called pancreatic amylase. This enzyme is also known as ptyalin.
It depends on the amylase. Salivary amylase is produced in the salivary glands, while pancreatic amylase is produced in the pancreas, etc.
Glands aren't responsible directly for the breaking down of starch. The enzyme that is responsible for the digestion of starch is amylase. This enzyme is produced by the salivary glands in our mouth - salivary amylase. It's also made by the pancreas - pancreatic amylase.
Amylase
Ptyalin is produced in and secreted by the salivary glands, of which humans have three. The parotid, submandibular (submaxillary) and sublingual salivary glands.
Pancreas. That is where Insulin is made
No, only in the stomach.
Salivary amylase. This enzyme helps to turn starch into a sugar called maltose...when your food gets into the small intestine, more amylase is made by the pancreas also.Another enzyme called maltase, turns all this maltose into glucose. Glucose is then absorbed into the blood.
Saliva contains the enzyme amylase, which begins the digestive process by breaking glycocemic bonds that hold together complex carbohydrates, and by breaking peptide bonds that hold together proteins.

The endocrine system is made up with a series of glands located around the body. These glands include: * Pituitary Gland * Thyroid Glands * Parathyroid Glands * Thymus * Pancreas * Adrenal Glands * Gonads Each of these glands produces hormones, which have a particular function in the body.
