Answer:

The correct answer is - small intestine; glucagon, glycogen; glycerol, sodium bicarbonate; starch, iron, plasma, hemoglobin; fats.

Explanation:

The digestive enzymes are released in the small intestine by pancreatic cell, the cluster of these pancreatic exocrine cells called pancreatic islets that release insulin and glucagon hormones for controlling blood sugar level.

Insulin stores the excess amount of blood glucose in the liver as glycogen and in the case of low sugar glycerol is converted to glucose from fats. Pancreatic juice contains sodium bicarbonate to regulate acidity and the amylase enzyme helps in digesting starch. The liver stores various nutritional substances such as vitamins and iron and others and release them in blood plasma.
