gonads
what gland is responsible for secreting a hormone that retains Na and water?
adrenal glands release aldosterone which is responsible for this mechanism
match the gland w/ the enzyme secreted by the gland: _ stomach _ pancreas _ liver _ small intestine -- _intrinsic factor _ trypsinogen _ bile _ lactase
the stomach secretes intrinsic factor
the pancreas secretes trypsinogen [converted into trypsin where it then aids in breaking down proteins into amino acids]
the liver secretes bile
the small intestine releases lactase
