Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -During digestion, your pancreas makes pancreatic juices called enzymes. These enzymes break down sugars, fats, and starches. Your pancreas also helps your digestive system by making hormones.
Detailed explanation-2: -Digestion of starches into glucose molecules starts in the mouth, but primarily takes place in the small intestine by the action of specific enzymes secreted from the pancreas (e.g. -amylase and -glucosidase).
Detailed explanation-3: -The pancreas has two essential and very important functions in the body: endocrine (production of hormones that regulate blood sugar levels and glandular secretion) and exocrine (the function of the digestive gland) (Yamada et al., 2005).
