Question

Which of the given set is mixed with the food in small intestine?

• A. Bile, pancreatic juice and saliva
• B. Saliva, gastric juice and bile
• C. Bile and pancreatic juice
• D. Gastric juice and pancreatic juice

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Bile and pancreatic juice

The small intestine is the site of the complete digestion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. It receives the secretions from the liver as well as pancreas for this purpose. Bile salts break fats down into smaller globules. The pancreas secretes pancreatic juice which contains enzymes like trypsin for digesting proteins and lipase for breaking down emulsified fats.
