Salivary glands, liver and pancreas secrete digestive juices that help in the breakdown of complex food substances into simpler ones. For example, bile secreted from the liver into the small intestine plays an important role in digesting fats. Saliva, which helps in digestion is secreted by the salivary gland. Pancreas secrete pancreatic juice which has the enzymes like amylase, lipase and trypsin and thus help in the process of digestion.
