PAncreatic digestive enzymes

- contains multiple enzymes for 3 major food types:



- it also contains large quantities of bicarbonate ions which helps in the neutralization
of the acidity of the chyme

* Trypsin (most abundant)
* Chymotrypsin
* Carboxypolypeptidase - split some peptides into individual amino acids


* Pancreatic Amylase - breaks down carbohydrates (except cellulose) to disaccharides
and some trisaccharides


* Pancreatic lipase - converts fats to fatty acids and monoglycerides
* Cholesterol esterase - hydrolyzes of cholesterol esters
* Phospholipase - splits fatty acids from phospholipids

}

split whole and partially digested proteins into peptides of various sizes

The most important of the pancreatic enzymes for digesting proteins are:

The pancreatic enzyme for digesting carbohydrates is:

The main enzymes for fat digestion are:

* Proteins
* Carbohydrates
* Fats
