The small intestine is where most chemical digestion takes place. Most of the digestive enzymes in the small intestine are secreted by the pancreas and enter the small intestine via the pancreatic duct. These enzymes enter the small intestine in response to the hormone cholecystokinin, which is produced in response to the presence of nutrients.
Several different glands produce digestive enzymes. The salivary glands in your mouth produce and secrete saliva, which contains the digestive enzyme known as salivary amylase. As food progresses to the stomach, two additional enzymes aid in the process of digestion: pepsin and gastric amylase.The pancreas secretes the three digestive enzymes known as pancreatic amylase, pancreatic protease and pancreatic lipase.In contrast to these enzymes, the liver produces bile salts and releases the substance to the gall bladder, which stores bile until you eat a meal.everal different glands produce digestive enzymes.
