In Mouth starch converts to
sugar
saliva break down starch into less complex sugars like maltose and dextrin.
Salivary Amylase Hormone or Enzyme ?

studies all the organs in your digestive system, including your liver.
major parenchymal cells in liver
Hepatocytes
converts glucose into glycogen (a complex carbohydrate used for storage)
and amino acids to proteins
Liver
Pepsin present in
stomach
acid
which enzymes convert protein to amino acids
Pepsin - Acid
Trypsin - Alkaline
Trypsin is secreted by

(Try-pan)
Trypsin is an enzyme
both Exo and Endocrine gland
Pancreas
Trypsin - Exocrine
Insulin - Endocrine
Alimentary canal
