Hepatic and Pancreatic secretions are also stimulated by a hormone produced by the intestinal mucosa. The hormone is___________?

Correct answer: C. Secretin

  • A. Creatin
  • B. Gastrin
  • C. Secretin
  • D. Pepsin

Explanation

Secretin is released by the intestinal mucosa when acidic chyme enters the duodenum, and it stimulates pancreatic bicarbonate secretion and supports bile secretion by the liver. The likely mistake is gastrin, which mainly stimulates gastric gland activity and acid secretion rather than this intestinal response.
