The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes and bicarbonate into the small intestine, specifically the duodenum. These enzymes, which include amylase, lipase, and proteases, aid in the digestion of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, respectively. Bicarbonate helps neutralize stomach acid, creating an optimal pH for enzyme activity. This coordinated secretion plays a crucial role in the digestive process.
