1) Salivary glands = present in our mouth, secretion is saliva, enzyme present in secretion is salivary amylase, breaks down 30% starch to maltose. 2) GASTRIC GLANDS = present in stomach, secretion is gastric juice, enzyme present is pepsin, breaks down proteins into peptones. 3) LIVER = present in upper abdomen, secretes bile salts, has no enzymes but helps in emulsification of fats. 4) PANCREAS = found below the stomach, secretes pancreatic juice, enzymes present are trypsin (peptones -> peptides), pancreatic lipase (emulsified fats -> fatty acids and glycerol.) and amylase (70% starch to maltose). 5) INTESTINAL GLANDS = present in small intestine, secretes intestinal juice, enzymes present are intestinal lipase (emulsified fats -> fatty acids and glycerol), peptidase (peptides -> amino acids) and maltase (maltose -> glucose).
