Question

Mention the location of four glands associated digestive
system of humans and explain function of each

Saman Ahmad · Accepted Answer

Following are the glands associated with the digestive system
and their secretions:

ORGAN

GLAND

SECRETION

ENZYMES

ACTION OF ENZYME

Mouth

Salivary gland

Saliva

Salivary amylase

Breaks down starch to sugar

Stomach

Gastric glands

Gastric juices

1 Pepsin
2 HCl
3 Mucus

1 Breaks down protein-peptones
2 Kills-germs, create acidic medium
3 Protect the walls of stomach from the action of
HCl

duodenum

1 Liver
2 Pancreas

1 Bile juice
2 Pancreatic juices

_
1 Amylopsin
2 Trypsin
3 Lipase

Emulsification of fats, create alkaline
medium
1 Breaks down starch to maltose
2 Breaks down protein to amino acid
3 Breaks down emulsified fats

Small intestine
(site of complete digestion)

Intestinal glands

Intestinal juices
(recives bile & pancreatic juice

1 Erepsin
2 Maltase

CONVERTS:
Protein--amino acid
Sugarâ€”glucose
