What is the enzyme that hydrolyzes lipids? Where is it made? Where does it function? Lipase. Pancreas. Small Intestine.
What is Pancreatic Juice? Where does it come from? How is this triggered? Clear alkaline (contains bicarbonate) digestive fluid secreted by the Pancreas which helps neutralize the acidic chyme. Triggered by Secretin and CCK (cholecystokinin).
