Question
Chapter 18, Problem 20RA
Summary Introduction
To review:
The activation of the pancreatic enzyme in the intestinal lumen along with the necessity of the mechanism.Â
Introduction:
Pancreas is the organ which has both exocrine and endocrine functions. It is involved in both digestion as well as endocrine functions. Pancreas secretes alkaline digestive fluid which breaks food into small molecules in the small intestine. Pancreatic juice digests protein, carbohydrate, and fats.
