Final answer:

The different glands related to our digestive system and their secretions are salivary glands (saliva), liver (bile), stomach (mucus), and the pancreas (insulin).

Step-by-step explanation:

The different glands related to our digestive system and their secretions are:

  • Salivary glands: They secrete saliva which contains enzymes like amylase that begin the breakdown of carbohydrates.
  • Liver: It produces bile which helps in the digestion and absorption of fats by emulsifying them.
  • Stomach: It secretes mucus which helps in protecting the stomach lining from the acid and enzymes.
  • Intestines: Insulin is not secreted by the intestines. Insulin is produced by the pancreas, which is an accessory organ, and it helps in regulating blood sugar levels, not digestion.
