Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chyme entering the duodenum can cause the release of hormones, such as secretin and cholecystokinin, that can inhibit gastric motility via the enterogastric reflex. The other statements are incorrect. Some substances, such as alcohol, can be partially absorbed by the stomach but not all commonly ingested substances are significantly absorbed by the stomach. Enterogastrone is a hormone that helps inhibit gastric motility, not increase it. Pepsin is an enzyme produced by the stomach for the purpose of protein digestion, not starch digestion.
