Solution

No, all digestive juices are not secreted by the cells of small intestine and stomach. Certain organs such as liver and pancreas also secrete digestive juices. The liver secretes bile juice which is used for the digestion of fats. Pancreas, on the other hand, produces pancreatic juice which digests starch and proteins into their simpler constituents.
