Can someone fill in the blank of two spaces that I am confused on?

Question

quickstudent · Answer

The words in red are the ones I already answered, but there are still two blank spaces that I am confused on.

anonymous · Answer

the first blank is not pancreas dear..it is salivary glands

quickstudent · Answer

Oh, then what does the pancreas do?

anonymous · Answer

even pancreatic juice secreted by pancrease has some digestive enzymes but the context referred in your question is about digestion in mouth...look at the question once.pancreatic secretions do not occur in mouth..it secretes near duodenum

quickstudent · Answer

Oh, ok. What about the others?

anonymous · Answer

salivary glands in mouth secretes salivary amylase which converts carbohydrates to sugars i think this will help you. http://health.howstuffworks.com/human-body/systems/digestive/digestive-system1.htm

abhisar · Answer

As a side note:
Salivary amylase catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch into simple sugar sugar derivatives. This si the reason why we say that digestion starts right from the mouth.
