What pancreatic enzyme breaks down protein?
Trypsinogen, chymotrypsin, and carboxypeptidase But, these are all released from the pancreas in the form of enzyme precursors, & none is fully active until it reaches the small intestine - otherwise they would be digesting the pancreas itself; enterokinase, released from the intestinal lumen, starts the chain of activation, so that for example, trypsinogen becomes the active enzyme trypsin.

What part connects the pancreas to the small intestine?
The pancreatic duct comes from the pancreas to the small intestine as does the accessory pancreatic duct. Pancreatic juice containing important buffers and digestive enzymes travels through these ducts into the lumen or hollow part of the duodenum or first part of the small intestine. Physically, there is some connective tissue that holds both the pancreas and small intestine in place and near each other.
