The human digestion process starts with the salivary glands, which are located in the mouth. Saliva breaking down the chemicals in the food we eat is referred to as chemical digestion.

What glands secrete digestive enzymes?
endocrine gland
Do digestive glands secrete hormones?
Yes they can be termed as digestive hormones. Salivary glands (saliva, that contains enzymes), glands in stomach (gastrin, promotes gastric juice secretion) and glands in duodenum and intestine (secretin, cholecystokinin (CCK) and gastric inhibitory peptide)
These secrete digestive enzymes in the mouth to help the digestive process begin in the mouth?
Salivary glands.
What are the two glands that secrete digestive enzymes into the first part of the small intestine?
liver produces BILE and pancreas acts as an exocrine gland by producing pancreatic juice
What is the difference between digestive glands and endocrine glands?
Basically a digestive enzyme helps to break down the food whether it is in the mouth (I forget the enzyme present in saliva) or in the intestine, Digestive hormones serve to regulate digestion for example the pH in the stomach is regulated by Gastrin. I'm guessing that you goto the University of Sydney because I have this very same question in an assignment
What is the difference between endocrine and endocrine glands?
digestive glands secrete enzymes which breaks down food into simpler forms to be digested while endocrine glands secrete hormones which are involved in growth and development
What are 3 examples of exocrine glands?
Exocrine glands are glands that secrete their products to the outside of the body. Examples include sweat glands, which secrete a hypotonic salt solution to the surface of the skin; portions of the pancreas, which secrete pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes and bicarbonate into the small intestine; and salivary glands, which secrete saliva into the mouth.
What digestive juice are poured into the food tube from glands outside the food tube?
Technically, most named digestive enzymes and secretions are made by glands located outside of the "tube" of the gastrointestinal tract. For instance, the salivary glands are located between the muscles of the jaw and face, and secrete saliva into the mouth through salivary ducts. Bile is created by the liver, stored in the gallbladder and then secreted into the small intestine; pancreatic enzymes (there are a bunch of them) are made in the pancreas then secreted into the small intestine as well.
Name five organs that secrete digestive juices?
Salivary glands, stomach, pancreas, liver( via the gallbladder), and small intestine.
What happens when intestinal glands secrete intestinal juice?
Intestinal glands are located in the epithelial lining of the small intestine and colon. What happens when the intestinal glands secrete intestinal juice is that trypsin activates other enzymes to aid in protein digestion.
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.
Source of digestive enzymes that break down food?
There is more than one source of digestive enzymes that break down food. These include the salivary glands, stomach, pancreas and the small intestine.
