Role of Pancreatic Juice: Pancreatic juice secreted by the pancreas contains a variety of enzymes, such as trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, pancreatic lipase, amylase etc. Trypsin and chymotrypsin help digest proteins; amylase help in digestion of carbohydrates; and lipase to break down fats. So, pancreatic juice helps in digestion of carbohydrates, fats, and protein.
Pancreas creates natural juices called pancreatic enzymes to break down foods. These juices travel through pancreas via ducts. They empty into the upper part of your small intestine called the duodenum. Each day, pancreas makes about 8 ounces of digestive juice filled with enzymes. These are the different enzymes:
Many groups of cells make hormones inside your pancreas. Unlike enzymes that are released into your digestive system, hormones are released into your blood. They carry messages to other parts of your digestive system. Pancreatic hormones include:
Gastrin and amylin. Gastrin is a hormone mainly made in the G cells in your stomach, but some is also made in the pancreas and upper small intestine. It stimulates your stomach to make gastric acid. Amylin is made in beta cells and helps control appetite and stomach emptying.
