    Solution

    Trypsin is a digestive enzyme that plays a crucial role in the digestion of proteins. It is produced and released by the pancreas. The pancreas secretes trypsinogen, an inactive form of trypsin, into the small intestine. Once in the small intestine, trypsinogen is activated to trypsin by another enzyme called enterokinase. Trypsin then acts to break down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids, facilitating their absorption in the digestive process. Therefore, the pancreas is the source of trypsin in the digestive system.
