Question: enzymes are produced by specialized cells in the pancreas and digestive tract?
Answer: The digestive enzymes (such as amylase, lipase, and trypsin) are released from the cells of the acini and flow into the pancreatic duct. The pancreatic duct joins the common bile duct at the sphincter of Oddi, where both flow into the duodenum. The enzymes are normally secreted in an inactive form.
