Pancreatic Juice: Composition, Enzymes & Digestive Function

The pancreas produces pancreatic juice, which is an alkaline fluid that contains digestive enzymes such as amylase, lipase, and protease. These enzymes help to break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by the body. Pancreatic juice is secreted into the small intestine, where it helps to digest food.
