Question

Secretion of which of the following digestive gland is considered as the complete digestive juice?

• A. Liver
• B. Gall bladder
• C. Salivary gland
• D. Pancreatic acini

Answer 1

The correct option is D Pancreatic acini

Pancreatic juice is considered the complete digestive juice because of the fact that it contains enzymes for the digestion of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in addition to bicarbonate ions that provide an alkaline medium. Its alkaline nature helps to neutralize the acidic chyme that comes from the stomach. It also has pancreatic amylase that converts complex polysaccharides into disaccharides and the presence of lipase enzymes helps to digest fats. Lastly, it also contains protein-digesting enzymes like trypsin, chymotrypsin, and carboxypeptidase.

So the correct answer is 'Pancreatic acini'.
