A member asked:
The enzymes which enter the digestive tract through the duodenum are produced in what organ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many: Bile comes from the gallbladder and liver, pancreatic enzymes from the (guess what?) pancreas, acid and other enzymes from the stomach lining and small intestinal lining. Even your salivary glands in your mouth get in on the action, making amylase--a communal effort.
