5B. PANCREAS, LIVER AND GALLBLADDER

• The pancreas secretes enzymes that break down protein, fat, and carbohydrates within
the food we eat.
• The liver purifies the blood coming from the small intestine and it makes/secretes bile.
• The gallbladder stores bile.
• Bile helps with digestion and eliminates waste products from the blood. They each have an essential role which should not be underestimated.
