The liver secretes bile which aids in the breakdown of lipids into fatty acids. The enzymes which speeds up the rate of the digestion of lipids is Lipase, and this is secreted by the pancreas.

The pancreas also secretes many other enzymes including: Two protease's are trypsin and chymotrypsin. These enzymes speed up the rate in which protein is digested into amino acids.

Amylase is also produced in the pancreas (As well as the salivary glands in the mouth), and amylase breaks down starch into maltose molecules
