Answer:
The three different glands associated with the digestive system in humans are salivary( parotid, submandibular, and sublingual), pancreas, and liver.
Salivary glands: They produce saliva, which provides lubrication to the food. It helps in digestion of carbohydrates present in the food into simple sugars.
Pancreas: A glandular organ located in the abdomen. It makes pancreatic juices, which contain enzymes that aid in digestion, and it produces several hormones, including insulin.
Liver: A large very vascular glandular organ of vertebrates that secretes bile and causes important changes in many of the substances contained in the blood (as by converting sugars into glycogen which it stores up until required and by forming urea).
