Answer :
Pancreatic juice contains water, salts, digestive enzymes such as proteases, amylase, and lipase, and sodium bicarbonate to neutralize stomach acid, creating an optimal environment for digestion in the duodenum. The correct answer is option A,C,D.
The components of pancreatic juice include a mixture of several substances that aid in digestion within the duodenum. These substances consist of water, salts, sodium bicarbonate, and various digestive enzymes. Specifically, the digestive enzymes include proteases for protein breakdown, amylase for carbohydrate breakdown, and lipase for fat digestion. The sodium bicarbonate plays a critical role in neutralizing the acidic chyme coming from the stomach, creating an alkaline environment which is necessary for the optimal function of these enzymes.
In response to chyme entering the duodenum, two hormones, secretin and cholecystokinin (CCK), are released from the small intestine to regulate the secretion of pancreatic juices.
