Questions Related to endocrine system and chemical co-ordination

Cholecystokinin stimulates which of these structure?

  1. Gall bladder

  2. Liver

  3. Pancreas

  4. Small intestine


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

  • Cholecystokinin is secreted by cells of the upper small intestine. 
  • Its secretion is stimulated by the introduction of hydrochloric acid, amino acids, or fatty acids into the stomach or duodenum. 
  • Cholecystokinin stimulates the gallbladder to contract and release stored bile into the intestine. Hence, Cholecystokinin stimulates Gall's bladder.
So, the correct answer is 'Gall's bladder'.

Which of the following regulates the secretion of prolactin in turkey?

  1. GIP

  2. VIP

  3. Pituitary secretion

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

  • VIP in the pituitary helps to regulate prolactin secretion; it stimulates prolactin release in the domestic turkey. Additionally, the growth-hormone-releasing hormone (GH-RH) is a member of the VIP family and stimulates growth hormone secretion in the anterior pituitary gland. Hence, VIP  regulates the secretion of prolactin in turkey.
So, the correct answer is 'VIP'.

VIP hormone stimulates the secretion of

  1. Pepsinogen

  2. Trypsinogen

  3. Lipase

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
  • In the digestive system, VIP seems to induce smooth muscle relaxation (lower oesophagal sphincter, stomach, gallbladder), stimulate secretion of water into pancreatic juice and bile, and cause inhibition of gastric acid secretion and absorption from the intestinal lumen.
  •  Its role in the intestine is to greatly stimulate secretion of water and electrolytes, as well as relaxation of enteric smooth muscle, dilating peripheral blood vessels, stimulating pancreatic bicarbonate secretion, and inhibiting gastrin-stimulated gastric acid secretion. 
  •  It also has the function of stimulating pepsinogen secretion by chief cells. VIP seems to be an important neuropeptide during inflammatory bowel diseases.Hence, VIP hormone stimulates the secretion of Pepsinogen.
    So, the correct answer is 'Pepsinogen'.

Which one of the following hormones inhibits gastric
secretion

  1. Gastrin

  2. Secretin

  3. Enterogastrone

  4. Cholecystokinin


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Enterogasterone is secreted by the epithelium which inhibits gastric secretion and morality.

The hormone secretin stimulates secretion of

  1. Pancreatic juice

  2. Bile juice

  3. Salivary juice

  4. Gastric juice


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Secretin is a digestive hormone secreted by the wall of the duodenum. Secretin helps regulate the pH of the duodenum by inhibiting the secretion of gastric acid from the parietal cells of the stomach and stimulates the acinar cells of the pancreas to secrete water and bicarbonate into the pancreatic ducts that drain into the duodenum. 

Mechanical stimulation of villi by the food produces a hormone which is known as

  1. Gastrin

  2. Progesterone

  3. Enterocrinin

  4. Pancreozymin


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Enterocrinin is a hormone secreted by the duodenum mucosa and is stimulated by hydrogen ions which stimulates the intestinal glands to increase succus entericus juice. This breaks down sucrase, maltase, lactase, erepsin and nuclease for the body to use as energy.

Pancreatic secretion and gall bladder contraction are stimulated by

  1. Gastrin

  2. Enterocrinin

  3. Enterogastrone

  4. Cholecystokinin 


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

cholecystokinin or CCK is a hormone released by stimulating endocrine cells by the fatty acids in the lumen of the duodenum. CCK or cholecystokinin role is to stimulate in smooth muscles of gallbladder and release of pancreatic secretions.

So the correct option is 'Cholecystokinin '

The hormone that is released when the walls of the stomach are mechanically stimulated

  1. Gastrin

  2. Progesterone

  3. Secretin

  4. Pancreozymin


Correct Option: A
