Correct AnswerExplanation:
Rate of stomach emptying depends on the type of food
Gastric lipase is another digestive enzyme made by the chief cells. It helps break down short and medium chain fats. Amylase is also found in gastric juices, but it isn't made by the stomach. This enzyme comes from saliva and travels along with the bolus into the stomach.
