Question

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

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

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.
