It secretes juices containing enzymes that are capable of digesting all major types of food -- carbohydrates, fats and proteins. The pancreas is the first organ to begin digesting fats. It secretes pancreatic lipase, esterase and phospholipase, which break down chemically complex fats into simple, easy-to-absorb fats. Similarly, trypsin and carboxypolypeptidase break down proteins, and pancreatic amylase breaks down carbohydrates.
Lysozyme is an enzyme secreted by the salivary glands. It kills bacteria. Mucus is a fluid secreted by the foveolar cells in the stomach. It protects the stomach wall. Chymosin is a fluid secreted by the chief cells of the stomach. It coagulates milk and has an optimum pH of 3.5. Hydrochloric acid is a fluid secreted by the parietal cells of the stomach. It kills bacteria, activates pepsinogen -> pepsin, and lowers the pH of the stomach. Its acidity denatures proteins, aiding in protein digestion.
