Correct answers: pancreas and liver.
Why: Both the pancreas and liver are accessory organs that secrete digestive chemicals (pancreatic enzymes; bile from the liver) but do not physically break food down. The mouth and stomach perform mechanical digestion (chewing, churning), and the small intestine also has mechanical mixing (segmentation) as well as chemical digestion.
