Release of trypsin and chymotrypsin in their active form can result in the digestion of the pancreas or small intestine itself. What mechanism does the body employ to prevent its self-destruction?

In order to prevent the destruction of the pancreas and small intestine, || pancreatic enzymes are released as inactive proenzymes that are only activated in the small intestine ||

In the pancreas, vesicles store trypsin and chymotrypsin as trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen.
