The small intestine contains an enzyme called peptidase, which works best in the alkaline environment of that organ (pH of about 8.) This helps further break down food that has already passed through the acidic environment of the stomach. Enzymes are protein catalysts which speed up the digestion process.
The liver secretes bile, which emulsifies fats by breaking them down into smaller droplets to aid in digestion. Additionally, the pancreas secretes bicarbonate to neutralize the acidity of chyme entering from the stomach, making the food alkaline in the small intestine for optimal digestion.
The pancreas secretes an alkaline substance called bicarbonate to neutralize stomach acid as food enters the small intestine.
The stomach secretes hydrochloric and acid pepsinogen to begin the chemical break down of food.
The stomach lining secretes alkaline mucus to protect itself from the acidic environment created by gastric acid. The mucus forms a protective barrier, preventing the acid from damaging the stomach lining and causing ulcers or other problems.
The stomach cell that secretes hydrochloric acid is called a parietal cell. These cells are responsible for producing the hydrochloric acid that helps in the digestion of food in the stomach.
The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes such as amylase, lipase, and protease, as well as sodium bicarbonate to help neutralize stomach acid in the small intestine during digestion.
The pancreas secretes an alkaline substance called bicarbonate to neutralize stomach acid as food enters the small intestine.
Bulbourethral glands
it secretes digestive enzymes that are important to the digestion of carbohydrates, fats(lipids), anf proteins. it also secretes a alkaline based juiced that is filled with a bicarbonate.
The stomach secretes hydrochloric and acid pepsinogen to begin the chemical break down of food.
Prostate gland
amylase and lipase....majority is exocrine with tiny endocrine pockets....also secretes an alkaline solution of bicarbonate into duodenum....
the cardiac region of the stomach, hoped it helped :)the cardiac region of the stomach, hoped it helped :)
No, the pancreas is involved in chemical digestion, as it secretes enzymes which catalyze the breakdown of food molecules.
The Endocrine System secretes chemical messages called hormones.
The stomach secretes hydrochloric and acid pepsinogen to begin the chemical break down of food.
Liver secretes bile juice which is stored in gall bladder. Bile is alkaline and contains salts which help to emulsify fats present in the food.
It secretes bile for fat digestion. The hypatocystes (cells) of liver produce bile. The bile is stored in gallbladder. The bile enters the duodenum and emulsifies the fats. It also reduces the acidity of chyme.
