The accessory glands of the digestive system are as follows:

• Salivary gland: It secretes saliva which helps in the breakdown of starch into simple sugars.
• Liver: It secretes bile juice and that helps in the digestion of fats. And the secretion of the liver is stored temporarily in the gallbladder.
• Pancreas: It secretes pancreatic juices that help in the breakdown of carbohydrates and proteins into simpler forms.
