And that gives the lipase and other proteolytic enzymes more time to break down the macromolecules, especially the fats and lipids found inside the small intestine. So these are the different types of proteolytic enzymes produced by the small intestine, and these are the hormones produced by the small intestine. Now, let's move on to the pancreas. So, the pancreas is basically an accessory gland that produces specialized proteolytic enzymes that are needed in digestion. So we have this combination of proteolytic enzymes as well as a solution of bicarbonate that forms the pancreatic juice. And when stimulated, the pancreas releases the pancreatic juice into the pancreatic duct, which basically connects with the common bile duct.
