Amylase is produced in the salivary glands and it hydrolyses (breaks down with the addition of water) starch into maltose.
The small intestine and the salivary glands are the organs of the digestive system that produces the enzyme amylase.
It depends on the amylase. Salivary amylase is produced in the salivary glands, while pancreatic amylase is produced in the pancreas, etc.
amylase
Salivary amylase, which breaks down cooked starch into maltose
The digestive enzyme-amylase is secreted in two regions of the digestive tract.i.e.(1) salivary amylase by salivary glands in the buccal cavity.(2) pancreatic amylase by pancreas in the duodenum.
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.
Saliva is an enzyme created by the salivary glands. The enzymes break down the food so you can swallow it.
Salivary glands are exocrine glands.
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.
Salivary glands produce the enzyme ptylin. This enzyme breaks down the carbohydrates to smaller parts. There action last for some time in stomach also.
Chemical digestion begins in the mouth with the secretion of saliva from three pairs of salivary glands. Saliva contains the digestive enzyme salivary amylase.
The salivary glands, the gall bladder, the pancreas.
