The other adnexal gland of digestive system is the pancreas. This organ forms digestive enzymes which digest proteins (or proteases), lipids (or lipases) and carbohydrates (or pancreatic amylases). The other digestive enzymes, such as carboxipeptidase, gelatinase, elastase, ribonuclease and deoxyribonuclease are as well secreted by the pancreas.
