The Intestinal Hormone That Stimulates the Pancreas to Release a Watery

Question

The intestinal hormone that stimulates the pancreas to release a watery, bicarbonate-rich fluid is
A) enterocrinin.
B) secretin.
C) cholecystokinin.
D) GIP.
E) gastrin.

Accepted Answer

Secretin is the intestinal hormone that stimulates the pancreas to release a watery, bicarbonate-rich fluid, which helps neutralize the acidic chyme from the stomach as it enters the small intestine. Enterocrinin stimulates the release of enzymes from the pancreas, cholecystokinin stimulates the release of digestive enzymes from the pancreas and the contraction of the gallbladder, GIP stimulates the release of insulin from the pancreas, and gastrin stimulates acid secretion from the stomach.
