Why are protein digestive enzymes produced and released in an inactive form?
In the case of protein digesting enzymes, known as endopeptidases, such as those secreted in the stomach (pespin), it is obvious. If they were secreted active they would digest the glands which secrete the enzymes themselves (gastric glands). Instead they must be secreted in an inactive form, which once in the stomach and exposed to HCl acid and other pepsin enzymes the pepsinogen activates and begins digesting protein.
What happens when intestinal glands secrete intestinal juice?

Which hormone is produced in the endocrine gland?
Endocrine glands are glands which secrete oil, sweat, enzymes into ducts. Example: sweat glands, sebaceous glands, digestive gland, mucous. Correction! Exocrine glands are those which secrete to the outside (can still be inside the body- for example hormones involved in digestion) which have ducts and secrete oil- sebaceous glands. Endocrine glands secrete to hormones the "inside" and DO NOT have ducts, they are ductless.
