⭐The essential functions of Digestive Glands are:-

♦Salivary Glands:

Saliva contains an enzyme called salivary amylase which breaks down starch (complex substance) of the food into maltose (a simpler sugar). Thus, in the mouth cavity saliva moistens the masticated food and starts digestion of carbohydrate.

♦Gastric Gland:

The gastric glands secrete hydrochloric acid and gastric juice which help in digestion of food.

♦Liver:

It is the largest gland of the body. It weighs 1.5 kg in man. Liver performs many functions. As far as digestion is concerned, it secretes a fluid called bile.

♦Pancreas:

It is the second largest gland of the body. It lies in the fold of duodenum. It is yellowish. It secretes pancreatic juice.



♦Intestinal Glands:

The final step of digestion takes place in the ileum. There are numerous smaller glands occupying the walls of the small intestinal tract.
