Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gastrin stimulates secretion of gastric juice rich in pepsin and hydrochloric acid, as well as the growth and motility of the stomach.

Answer: B
 Cholecystokinin (CCK) stimulates the release of bile from the gallbladder and pancreatic enzymes from the pancreas, which aid in the digestion of fats and proteins.

Answer: D
 Gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) reduces stomach acid secretion and inhibits gastric motility after a meal, slowing the movement of food through the digestive tract.

Answer: A
 Secretin stimulates the secretion of bicarbonate-rich pancreatic juice, which neutralizes the acidic chyme entering the small intestine from the stomach.
