it contains enzyme known as salivary amylase which breaks down starch/carbs into disaccharides

Question 17

what does the pancreas do

Answer 17

• it dilivers fluid which has multiple enzymes to small intestine (Trypsin, Pancreatic amylase, Lipase)
• and it also secretes bicarbonate ions in order to raise the pH before goes into small intestine

pancrease enzyme do

Answer 20

digest proteins into amino acids (in the pancrease)

Question 21

Answer 21

secrete bile salts which help in the role in the digestion of fats.

Answer 22

in liver help the lipases(ones from pancreas) break down fats in the small intestine by emulsifying lipids

Question 23

role of the gall bladder

Answer 23

After bile is produced in the liver the gall bladder is used for storage in and takes in bile salts as needed into the small intestine.
