ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The pancreas produces the enzyme-and bicarbonate-rich pancreatic juice and delivers it to the small intestine through ducts. Pancreatic juice buffers the acidic gastric juice in chyme, inactivates pepsin from the stomach, and enables the optimal functioning of digestive enzymes in the small intestine.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pancreatic juice consists of alkaline (chiefly bicarbonate) fluid and enzymes; 200–800 mL is produced each day. The enzymes, trypsin, lipase, and amylase are essential for digestion of most of the protein, fat, and carbohydrate in the meal.

Detailed explanation-3: -Doctors sometimes prescribe digestive enzymes, including pancreatic enzymes, to patients who have conditions that cause poor absorption. These products help improve digestion and absorption of food.

Detailed explanation-4: -Small intestine. The muscles of the small intestine mix food with digestive juices from the pancreas, liver, and intestine, and push the mixture forward for further digestion. The walls of the small intestine absorb water and the digested nutrients into your bloodstream.

Detailed explanation-5: -Lipase. This enzyme works together with bile, which your liver produces, to break down fat in your diet. Protease. This enzyme breaks down proteins in your diet. Amylase. This enzyme helps break down starches into sugar, which your body can use for energy.
