What are the 4 regions of the digestive system that produce digestive enzymes?
# Mouth - amylase # Stomach - protease # Pancreas - lipase, carbohydrases, proteases # Small intestine - [ditto pancreas]
What part of the digestive system produces enzymes?
Enzymes are produced in various regions of our digestive system. Starch is digested by amylase produced by our salivary glands; protein is broken down by pepsin, manufactured in the stomach. In the upper part of the small intestine - the duodenum - all main nutrient molecules are broken down by enzymes made in our pancreas and by the small intestine itself.

Insulin is not stored, the body makes it on demand. Also it is not part of the digestive system, rather it is a hormone regulating the amount of sugar in the blood (it does however kick in when you have eaten something).

The mouth (by chewing) and the stomach (by gastric motion).
Where is the digestive system is located?
The digestive system is a large system and takes up space from the mouth to the pelvis. Different parts of the digestive system are located in different regions of the body.
