Pancreatic juice is a liquid secreted by the pancreas, which contains a variety of enzymes, including
trypsinogen,
chymotrypsinogen,
elastase,
carboxypeptidase,
pancreatic lipase,
nucleases,
amylase.
These enzymes exercise following functions:
complete the digestion of starch (pancreatic amylase);
carry out about half of protein digestion (via the action of trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase);
be totally responsible for fat digestion because the pancreas is essentially the only source of lipases;
digest nucleic acids(nucleases).
