the digestive enzymes from the pancreas are produced in secretory cells.
where are the digestive enzymes from the pancreas produced?
secretory cells
bullet::::- proteases and peptidases split proteins into small peptides and amino acids.





























bullet::::- lipases split fat into three fatty acids and a glycerol molecule.





























bullet::::- amylases split carbohydrates such as starch and sugars into simple sugars such as glucose.





























bullet::::- nucleases split nucleic acids into nucleotides.





























in the human digestive system, the main sites of digestion are the oral cavity, the stomach, and the small intestine. digestive enzymes are secreted by different exocrine glands including: 





























bullet::::- salivary glands





























bullet::::- gastric glands in the stomach





























bullet::::- secretory cells(eyeslit) in the pancreas





























bullet::::- secretory glands in the small intestine

digestive enzyme
the exocrine pancreas is a portion of this organ that contains clusters of ducts (acini) producing bicarbonate anion, a mild alkali, as well as an array of digestive enzymes that together empty by way of the interlobular and main pancreatic ducts into the duodenum (upper small intestine). the hormones cholecystokinin and secretin secreted by the stomach and duodenum in response to distension and the presence of food in turn stimulate the production of digestive enzymes by the exocrine pancreas. the alkalization of the duodenum neutralizes the acidic chyme produced by the stomach that is passing into it; the digestive enzymes serve to catalyze the breakdown of complex foodstuffs into smaller molecules for absorption and integration into metabolic pathways. the enzymes include proteases (trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen), hydrolytic enzymes that cleave lipids (the lipases phospholipase a2 and lysophospholipase, and cholesterol esterase), and amylase to digest starches. epi results from progressive failure in the exocrine function of the pancreas to provide its digestive enzymes, often in response to a genetic condition or other disease state, resulting in the inability of the animal involved to properly digest food.
