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
The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes along with the enzymes insulin and glucagon.
It creates insulin and secretes digestive enzymes.
The pancreas secretes the most potent digestive enzymes in the body. These enzymes help break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in the small intestine to be absorbed by the body.
The pancreas secretes insulin which helps regulate blood glucose levels and it also secretes digestive enzymes such as glucagon that assist in breaking down fat, carbohydrate and protein.
The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes and bicarbonate into the small intestine, specifically the duodenum. These enzymes, which include amylase, lipase, and proteases, aid in the digestion of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, respectively. Bicarbonate helps neutralize stomach acid, creating an optimal pH for enzyme activity. This coordinated secretion plays a crucial role in the digestive process.
The cells that hold digestive juices are called the gastric chief cells. These are located in the stomach that secretes enzymes for protein breakdown.
