Solution

Pancreas
The pancreas is located in the upper belly, close to the spine, and is about the size and shape of a small banana.
The pancreas consists of exocrine glands that produce enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsin that are essential for digestion.
These enzymes contain chymotrypsin and trypsin to digest proteins, amylase for the digestion of carbohydrates and lipase to break down fats.
The liver makes bile.
By creating bile to break down fats, eliminating toxins, and dissolving and storing some vitamins and minerals, the liver digests meals.
