Enzymes and Digestion

The digestive system will continue to manufacture and secrete enzymes as needed. This is called the “law of adaptive secretion.” The body will never make more enzymes than are requi ...

Upon eating fatty food the body releases bile into the common bile duct which joins with the pancreatic duct just before the entrance to the duodenum. ...

Pancreas
The pancreas /ˈpæŋkriəs/ is a glandular organ in the digestive system and endocrine system of vertebrates. In humans, it is located in the abdominal cavity behind the stomach. It is an endocrine gland producing several important hormones, including insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, and pancreatic polypeptide which circulate in the blood. The pancreas is also a digestive organ, secreting pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes that assist digestion and absorption of nutrients in the small intestine. These enzymes help to further break down the carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids in the chyme.
