Answer: The pancreas secretes the pancreatic juice which is a watery alkaline fluid that contains enzymes that aid in digestion.

Explanation: The pancreas secretes the pancreatic juice. Pancreatic juice is a watery alkaline fluid that contains the enzyme amylopsin, trypsinogen, and steapsin. Amylopsin is an amylase that acts on carbohydrates and converts them to simple sugars, steapsin is a lipase which acts on emulsified fats and converts them to fatty acids and glycerol. Trypsinogen is a protease which is inactive, and it is converted to its active form trypsin which then converts proteins into polypeptides.

Tems11 [23]
Both humans and monkeys have this. A VERY long time ago Humans had very small "strings" of skin. This skin has evolved over time and now there is a bone left. Monkeys are technically un-evolved humans. Good thing they stuck around.
