What are the main components of pancreatic fluid

The main components of pancreatic fluid include alkaline bicarbonate, amylase, lipase, trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, and other digestive enzymes, which can digest fats, proteins, and other effects. Pancreatic fluid is a liquid produced by the exocrine action of the pancreas. Pancreatic amylase hydrolyzes starch into maltose and glucose, and pancreatic lipase breaks down triglycerides into fatty acids, monoglycerides and glycerol. Intestinal fluid activated trypsinogen can activate chymotrypsinogen to chymotrypsin, activated trypsin and chymotrypsin have the function of breaking down proteins.
