Answer:

The true statement regarding the pancreas is that pancreas secretes sodium bicarbonate (option D).

Explanation:

The pancreas is a gland that performs both exocrine and endocrine functions. Within its exocrine function this gland can secrete a solution formed by water and sodium bicarbonate.

The <u>secretion of pancreatic sodium bicarbonate is carried out from the ductal and central cells</u>, providing a hydroelectrolytic solution useful for attenuating stomach acid at the level of the duodenum.

The other options are not correct because:

<em>     A. </em><u><em>Trypsin </em></u><em>is an enzyme that is responsible for breaking the pethidic bonds of porters, and not carbohydrates.</em>

<em>     B. Pancreatic </em><u><em>amylase </em></u><em>acts on carbohydrates, not fats.</em>

<em>     C. </em><u><em>Lipase</em></u><em> in pancreatic juice acts on fats, not on sugars or carbohydrates.</em>
