The duodenum does not actually produce any digestive enzymes, it produces chemicals that are called buffers. The most important are the Brunner's Glands (duodenal glands) which produce mucus which helps to neutralize the acid in the chyme from the stomach. The pancreas is the gland that actually adds digestive enzymes into the duodenum so that it can digest all three types of food; proteins, carbohydrates, and fats.

∙ 11y agoFood is broken down in the stomach, using acids. Food then travels tot he small intestine aka "Duodenum". That is where most of the digestion takes place. Inside the small intestine there are hair like figures called villis. These take the minarels and vitimins and all the good stuff your body needs. From then all the un-digested food goes to the large intestine where it is made into solid waste, and comes out of the body from your anus.

The duodenum is the first part of the intestine; it is the place that the stomach empties it's contents into. Along with that, the duodenum is an essential digestion site.

Much activity goes on in the duodenum, which is why the duodenum is so crucial for digestion.
