Enzyme Nutrition Chart

Organs of the digestive system	Source Of Enzymes	Enzymes	Substances acted upon	Product
Mouth	Salivary glands	Amylase, Ptyalin	Starch	Complex sugars
Stomach	Gastric glands	Pepsin	Proteins	Peptones and Amino acids
Pancreas	Pancreatic juice	Trypsin Amylase Lipase	Proteins Carbohydrates Fats	Peptide Maltose or sugars Fatty acids and glycerol
Small intestine	Intestinal glands	Erepsin Maltase Lactase Sucrase	Peptides Maltose Lactose Sucrose	Amino acids, Glucose and other sugars
Liver	Bile	No enzyme only bile salts	Fats	They help in absorption of fats by combining with fat soluble substance like cholesterol. Bile contains sodium bicarbonate which neutralizes HCL.

1. The purpose of enzyme is to break down complex food materials into simpler substances which can be assimilated by our system.

2. The hormonal regulation of secretion of digestive juices is brought by various local hormones of the digestive tract mentioned below:

a) Gastrin: Influences the secretion of digestive juices in stomach.

b) Secretin: From the duodenum; stimulates the flow of pancreatic juice.

c) Pancreozymin: Helps to produce the flow of pancreatic enzymes.

d) Cholecystokinin: Influences the flow of bile from Gallbladder.

e) Enterogastrone: Is released from duodenum and helps in stoppage of gastric secretion.
