Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cholecystokinin (CCK) stimulates the release of pancreatic enzymes, which are alkaline, and bile from the gallbladder, which aids in the digestion and absorption of fats. Gastrin stimulates acid secretion by the stomach, not alkaline secretions from the pancreas. Secretin stimulates the pancreas to release bicarbonate, not hydrochloric acid. GIP stimulates the release of insulin from the pancreas and has no direct effect on bile release.
