Which part of the body contains enzymes?

Answer 1

Enzymes called amylase are found in your salivia, made in your salivia glands. The amylase helps to break down carbohydrates in your mouthbefore it goes down to the stomach. When the carbohydrates get to the stomach, more amylase needs to be added. This is because the acid in the stomach is extremely strong (pH 1) and dissolves the amylase. Another organ, called the pancreas, adds more of the amylase to the stomach, in order to digest the remaining carbohydrates. They are also many other enzymes in your body.

the enzyme is mainly found in the saliva and stomach but can also be found in the pancreas and duodenum

Types Of Enzymes

Enzymes are basically classified into three main groups - metabolic enzymes, food enzymes, and digestive enzymes.

Metabolic enzymes exist throughout our entire body system - in our organs, bones, blood and cells. Their job is to grow new cells and maintain every tissue in our body. When these enzymes are healthy, robust and are present in adequate numbers, they will do their job well.

Digestive enzymes are secreted by our various body organs - by our salivary glands, stomach, pancreas and small intestine. As its name suggests, the function of the digestive enzymes is to help in the digestion of our food.

The following are the more commonly known enzymes:

• lipase - breaking down of fats
• protease - breaking down of proteins
• cellulase - breaking down of fiber
• amylase - breaking down of starch
• lactase - breaking down of dairy products
• sucrase - breaking down of sugar
• maltase - breaking down of grains

These enzymes are typically named using ~ase with the name of the chemical being transformed, e.g. lipase for lipids (fats), or lactase for lactose, etc.

Inadequate numbers of any of these digestive enzymes results in incomplete digestion of food in their respective category. This causes left- over wastes which toxify the body system.

Food enzymes exist naturally in the raw food that we consume. Its function is very much like the digestive enzymes, that is to assist in the digestion of our food. When we consume foods that are rich in enzymes, the foods will be "self-digested", causing less or no stress to our body.
