Objective 60: Describe enzymatic and bicarbonate content in pancreatic juices
This chart highlights the pancreatic enzymes that play a part in digestion of these food sources such as pancreatic amylase that works to breakdown carbohydrates, Trypsin that works to break down proteins, pancreatic lipase that works on fats, and pancreatic ribonuclease and deoxyribnuclease that breakdown amino acids. All of these enzymes are secreted from the pancreas in an inactive form and are activated in the small intestine. This was a very helpful visual aid for me.
