Answer:

Amylases and Proteases are generally added to small intestine from pancreas in the small intestine.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pancreas secretes digestive enzymes like Amylase and protease. Amylase help in breakdown of large carbohydrate moities into small monosaccharides like glucose. Protease like trypsin is used to digest proteins in smaller units in the small intestine so that they can be easily absorbed in body.

Sphincter of oddi is a small opening which enters in the deodenum(first portion of small intestine) through which the secretions of pancreas enters the small intestine.
