Question

Which accessory organ makes and secretes digestive enzymes and bicarbonate into the small intestine?.

Answer 1

Answer:

The pancreas produces the enzyme- and bicarbonate-rich pancreatic juice and delivers it to the small intestine through ducts. Pancreatic juice buffers the acidic gastric juice in chyme, inactivates pepsin from the stomach, and enables the optimal functioning of digestive enzymes in the small intestine.
