Pancreas and Fat Digestion. The pancreas is a leaf-shaped organ that lies below the stomach. It secretes juices containing enzymes that are capable of digesting all major types of food -- carbohydrates, fats and proteins.The pancreas is the first organ to begin digesting fats.he deep spaces between the villi are called crypts, which secrete mucus, bicarbonate and water. In addition to these secretions, the cells of the small intestine also produce hormones, like secretin and cholecystokinin, which stimulate the other organs to release their digestive juices.
