What enzymes are contained in saliva?
Amylase and lysozyme are enzymes found in the saliva. The former initiates the breakdown of starch into smaller carboydrate units, while the latter inhibits bacterial growth in the oral cavity. There are several other pathogen inhibiting enzymes in saliva. Saliva also contains a lipase enzyme for the breakdown of lipids, but it is not very active until it reaches the low pH of the stomach. Saliva also contains ptyalin.
Three pairs of enzyme-rich glands produce .?
Salivary amylase in the mouth, gastric lipase in the stomach, and pancreatic amylase and lipase in the small intestine. These enzymes help in the digestion of carbohydrates and fats throughout the digestive system.
What organ is NOT known to secrete a lipase?
