c. Ileum
5. Large Intestine
a. Ascending Colon
b. Transverse Colon
c. Descending Colon
d. Sigmoid Colon
6. Rectum
Different parts of GIT secrete different types of chemicals which help in the digestion of food. These chemicals are called 'Digestive Enzymes'. They may help in digestion by breaking or diluting food particles by certain biochemical reactions.
Digestive enzymes break complex molecules into simpler ones that can be absorbed by cells. hello people
The small intestine is the site of work of some digestive enzymes that are secreted there. It is not an ideal site for the continued work of enzymes from the stomach, as the pH is not hospitable for the work of those gastric enzymes.
Their function is to digested unwanted materials.They contain digestive enzymes.
present in the small intestine, they secrete digestive enzymes
Produces digestive enzymes, and as an endocrine organ, it produces hormones.
present in the small intestine, they secrete digestive enzymes
yes it is,pancreas have the digestive function in secreting various digestive enzymes.it secrets enzymes lie lipases,proteases etc.
The largest variety of digestive enzymes function in the small intestine. This is where the majority of nutrient absorption takes place, and different enzymes break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by the body.
The function is to complete the digestion of starches, proteins, and fats.
The exocrine function of the pancreas involves producing digestive enzymes and bicarbonate that are released into the small intestine to help break down food. These enzymes help to digest carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in the food we eat.
Digestive enzymes supplement the diet and help the body with almost every function on a cellular level. The benefits of digestive enzymes include weight loss, better digestion and assimilation of nutrients, and more!
the digestive enzymes turn the starch in to sugar!
