Provides additional enzymes(pancreatic juice) to help nutrients get broken down in the small intestine.
A
liver
B
kidneys
C
gall bladder
D
pancreas
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Your pancreas creates natural juices called pancreatic enzymes to break down foods. These juices travel through your pancreas via ducts. They empty into the upper part of your small intestine called the duodenum. Each day, your pancreas makes about 8 ounces of digestive juice filled with enzymes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your pancreas releases the following enzymes: Lipase: Works with bile (a fluid produced by the liver) to break down fats. Amylase: Breaks down carbohydrates for energy. Protease: Breaks down proteins.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -PANCREAS. The pancreas produces a juice containing several enzymes that break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in food. The pancreas delivers digestive juice to the small intestine through small tubes called ducts.

Detailed explanation-5: -The exocrine glands of the pancreas produce enzymes essential to digestion. Enzymes include trypsin, chymotrypsin, amylase, and lipase. Trypsin and chymotrypsin are involved in digesting proteins [1]. Amylase helps in the digestion of carbohydrate, and lipase works to break down fats.
