Pancreas
Salivary glands, liver and pancreas secrete digestive juices that help in breakdown of complex food substances into simpler ones. For example, the liver has multiple functions, but its main function within the digestive system is to process the nutrients absorbed from the small intestine. Bile secreted from liver into the small intestine also plays an important role in digesting fats.
