Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Trypsin is a serine protease that is produced and secreted by pancreatic acinar cells as a digestive enzyme. The idea that digestive enzymes play an important role in acute pancreatitis has existed for 100 years (2).

Detailed explanation-2: -Trypsinogen (/ˌtrɪpˈsɪnədʒən, -ˌdʒɛn/) is the precursor form (or zymogen) of trypsin, a digestive enzyme. It is produced by the pancreas and found in pancreatic juice, along with amylase, lipase, and chymotrypsinogen.

Detailed explanation-3: -The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes into the duodenum and hormones into the bloodstream. The digestive enzymes (such as amylase, lipase, and trypsin) are released from the cells of the acini and flow into the pancreatic duct.
