most of the digestive enzymes found in the small intestine are secreted by what organ
Answer (1)
The pancreas secretes the majority of the major digestive enzymes that are found functioning in the small intestine.In the small intestine, the pancreas breaks down the majority of our food, proteins, fats, and carbohydrates—by generating a potent cocktail of enzymes. It functions similarly to the head chef. A few more specialized enzymes are subsequently produced in the small intestine to complete the digestion of specific sugars.Key points:A wide range of potent digestive enzymes are found in the fluid known as pancreatic juice, which is produced by the pancreas.All of the main food groups must be broken down by these pancreatic enzymes.Pancreatic Juice contains bicarbonate, which creates the ideal pH for these enzymes to function in the small intestine by neutralizing the stomach's acidic chyme, or partially digested food.
