Pancreatic enzymes aren't "activated" until they reach the small intestine. If they're activated just after they're produced, pancreatitis can result as the enzymes try to digest the pancreas.
Pancreatitis is very painful and often fatal. I have a cat with chronic pancreatitis who has to take steroids, probiotics, nutritional supplements, and antibiotics.

What glandular secretions involved in digestion would be most likely released initially as inactive precursors?
The pancreatic enzymes involved in digestion, such as trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen, are released initially as inactive precursors. This is to prevent damage to the pancreas and other tissues before they reach the small intestine, where they are activated by other enzymes.
When a glucose is collected in a sst it should be separated?
to prevent the red blood cells from digesting the glucose in the sample, true or false?
How does the stomach prevent digesting itself?
The role that cells play in keeping the stomach from digesting itself is in the production of a thick, greasy mucus so that the stomach wall remains intact. This thick mucus is called glycoprotein.
Why protein digesting enzymes are secreted in an inactive form in your body why it is not so incase of carbohydrate digesting and fat digesting enzymes?
Proteases are secreted in their inactive forms so as to prevent self-digestion and the destruction of the body's own cells. This is because all cells have proteins and hence are susceptible to the catabolic effects of proteases. However, amylase is not secreted in an inactive form as we do not store starch in our cells, but rather, we store carbohydrates in the form of glycogen. Therefore amylase poses no risk to our cells. Lipase-secreting cells also do not contain lipids and therefore lipase poses no threat to the body's own cells.
Which error produces incorrect results but does not prevent the program from running?
logic
Why must protein-digesting enzymes be stored in the inactive form?
All the digestive enzymes are made of protein, yet some of them are protein-digesting enzymes. If they were all dumped into the same "pot" the protein digesting enzymes would quickly destroy the other enzymes, and the whole process would grind to a halt. The body must separate protein digestion from other processes.
This worm produces chemicals that kill pain and prevent blood clotting?
leeches
Which type of error produces incorrect results but does not prevent the program from running?
Logic error.
Produces juices in the mouth?
they are called salivary glands that helps lubricate the mouth to prevent dryness.
How do honeybees make honey?
Honey bees make money by consuming the nectar of flowers, partially digesting it, and then regurgitating it. The process breaks down the nectar and removes much of the moisture to prevent fermentation.
How does digestive system avoid digesting itself?
The digestive system protects itself from digestion through several mechanisms. It produces mucus that forms a protective barrier on the lining of the stomach and intestines. Additionally, cells in the digestive system have specialized proteins that help in recognizing and targeting harmful substances while leaving the healthy tissues unharmed. There is also a balance of digestive enzymes and inhibitors that regulate the digestive process to prevent self-digestion.
What hormone produced by the pancreas prevents hypoglycemia?
Glucagon. This hormone produced in the pancreatic islets works to raise blood glucose levels, preventing hypoglycemia. Insulin does the opposite.
