The liver produces bile, which aids in the emulsification and digestion of fats in the small intestine. It also processes nutrients absorbed from the digestive tract, converting them into forms that the body can use. The pancreas contributes by secreting digestive enzymes, such as amylase, lipase, and proteases, into the small intestine to break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Additionally, it produces bicarbonate to neutralize stomach acid, creating an optimal environment for enzyme activity.
