Pancreas: This organ is located behind the stomach. It produces digestive enzymes and releases them into the duodenum. These enzymes include lipase, which breaks down fats, pancreatic amylase, which breaks down carbohydrates, proteases, which break down proteins.
Digestive enzymes, primarily produced* in the pancreas and small intestine, break down our food into nutrients so that our bodies can absorb them. *Theyâre also made in saliva glands and stomach, but weâre not going to focus on those here.
