Digestive glands are organs that produce digestive juices to help break down food and absorb nutrients. There are five main types of digestive glands in the human body: salivary glands, gastric glands, pancreas, liver and intestinal glands. Each gland has a specific function in the digestive process, such as producing enzymes or regulating blood sugar levels. Understanding the functions of these glands is essential for maintaining a healthy digestive system.
