The Pancreas secretes enzymes for digestion and aqueous bicarbonate (a base) to neutralize acid entering the duodenum (the first portion of the small intestine) from the stomach. The enzymatic component is secreted by the acinar cells of the pancreas, while the aqueous portion is secreted by the epithelium of the pancreatic ducts.
Here are some of the enzymes that are secreted by the acinar cells:
-Trypsinogen 1,2, and 3
-chymotrypsinogen
-proelastase 1 and 2
-procarboxypeptidase A1, A2, B1, and B2
-alpha amylase
-Triacylglycerol hydrolase
-Phospholipase A2
-Colipase 1 and 2.
The pancreatic duct cells (epithelium of the ducts) secrete primarily bicarbonate, but they also secrete Cl. You can also find Na and K in the aqueous portion of the secretion.
That answer for the what the pancreas secretes is: Insulin.
The pancreas secretes the pancreatic enzyme protease, pancreatic lipase, pancreatic amylase.
What else can I help you with?
What are the enzymes produced by the esophagus?
The esophagus does not produce any enzymes. Even so, sometimes digestive enzymes produced in the stomach can make their way into the esophagus due to a hernia or a condition called gastroesophagic reflux.
Where are most digestive enzymes produced?
Most digestive enzymes are produced in the stomach. You will find that with the complex ducts throughout the human body these enzymes can travel to other areas of the digestive system. These areas include the salivary glands, the stomach, the pancreas, and the intestines.
Enzymes that digest carbs are produced by what organs?
stomach pancreas gall bladder
What parts of the body produce enzymes?
The stomach contains enzymes that break down protein.
Where else are enzymes produced except the mouth stomach and pancreas?
gall bladder, small intestine
What is name of the liquid produced by the stomach?
The liquid produced by the stomach is called gastric juice. It is a combination of hydrochloric acid and enzymes that help break down food for digestion.
What is the acid secreated by the stomach?
Hydochloric acid is produced in the stomach to a) kill pathogens in our food b) gives optimum pH for enzymes to work in
How might stomach enzymes differ from other enzymes?
Stomach enzymes are specialized to function in the acidic environment of the stomach, whereas other enzymes may function in a neutral or alkaline environment. Stomach enzymes such as pepsin are mainly involved in digesting proteins, while other enzymes may have diverse roles in metabolism, signaling, or other biochemical processes. Stomach enzymes are secreted by the stomach lining in response to food intake, while other enzymes may be produced in various organs or tissues throughout the body.
Which process in a human requires that enzymes be secreted into gastrointestinal tract?
Chemical digestion in humans requires enzymes to be secreted into the gastrointestinal tract. These enzymes are produced by the pancreas and stomach, among other organs.
What enzymes are in the esophogus?
The esophagus does not produce any enzymes. Even so, sometimes digestive enzymes produced in the stomach can make their way into the esophagus due to a hernia or a condition called gastroesophagic reflux.
Explain how bile produces by the liver and enzymes produced in the pancreas function in the small intestine?
The bile produced in the liver eats the fats in the food and the enzymes produced in the pancreas breaks down the fats before the the bile eats it because the enzymes break down the fats in to smaller particlesIt helps neutralize the stomach acid so it wont burn it.as part of the digestive system, the pancreas produces enzymes that flow into the small intestine and help break down starches, proteins, and fats.
Where is the chyme produced?
The microscopic particles called chylomicrons are produced by cells in the small intestine. Once they are produced, they are released into the bloodstream.In the epithelial of the small intestine. :)
