Answer: Enzymes

Step-by-step explanation:

During digestion, your pancreas makes pancreatic juices called enzymes.

These enzymes break down sugars, fats, and starches.

Your pancreas also helps your digestive system by making hormones.

These are chemical messengers that travel through your blood.

Hope this helps :D
