Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Secretin is a hormone that regulates water homeostasis throughout the body and influences the environment of the duodenum by regulating secretions in the stomach, pancreas, and liver. It is a peptide hormone produced in the S cells of the duodenum, which are located in the intestinal glands. Secretin primarily functions to neutralize the pH in the duodenum, allowing digestive enzymes from the pancreas (e.g., pancreatic amylase and pancreatic lipase) to function optimally. Secretin targets the pancreas; pancreatic centroacinar cells have secretin receptors in their plasma membrane.


So the correct option is 'a, c & d'.

  1. It inhibits the secretion of gastric juice

  2. It stimulates the secretion of digestive juice in the stomach

A Correct answer
Explanation

Enterogastrone is a hormone released by the duodenum that inhibits gastric motility and the secretion of gastric juice to slow down digestion when fats are present.

Which of the following hormones has effect both on stomach and pancreas.

  1. Secretin

  2. Cholecystokinin

  3. Gastrin

  4. All of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Hormones are the chemicals which transfer signal from one part to the other. There are several hormones which have an effect on the stomach, pancreas as well as liver, these hormones are as follows:

  • Secretin - It is secreted in the upper lining of the stomach and also released in the pancreas. These are responsible for the secretion in the stomach and pancreas and regulates acidity.
  • Cholecystokinin - It is produced by the lining of the wall of the stomach and stimulates gall bladder to release bile. It induces the production of digestive enzymes in pancreas through pancreatic juice.
  • Gastrin - It is produced by Gastrin cells also called as G - cells. It helps in the secretion of gastric juices in the stomach and pancreas.

So, the correct option is 'All of the above'.

  2. Corpus lutem - secretes oxytocin.

  3. Interstitial cells - erythopoietic.

  4. Cholecystokinin - stimulates pancreatic enzyme secretions.

D Correct answer
Explanation

Cholecystokinin is a peptide hormone of the gastrointestinal system, responsible for stimulating the digestion of fat and protein. Cholecystokinin, previously called pancreozymin, is secreted in the duodenum and causes the release of digestive enzymes and bile from the pancreas and gallbladder, respectively.

The hormone involved in the discharge of pancreatic juice in mammal is called as

  1. Gastrin

  2. Secretin

  3. Secretin and CCK

  4. Enterogastrone
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The secretion of pancreatic juice is stimulated by secretin and CCK, produced by endocrine cells in the walls of the duodenum. The presence in the duodenum of acid material from the stomach stimulates the production of these hormones.

Which part of the digestive system secretes cholecystokinin?

  1. Intestine

  2. Pancreas

  3. Stomach

  4. Gall bladder
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Cholecystokinin, previously called pancreozymin, is synthesized by I-cells in the mucosal epithelium of the small intestine and secreted in the duodenum, and causes the release of digestive enzymes and bile from the pancreas and gallbladder, respectively.

Function of cholecystokinin is to 

  1. Contract gall bladder and release pancreatic juice

  2. Increase bile prodcution

  3. Decrease bile production

  4. Increase digestion
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Contraction of the muscle wall in the gallbladder is stimulated by the vagus nerve of the parasympathetic system and by the hormone cholecystokinin, which is produced in the upper portions of the intestine. The contractions result in the discharge of bile through the bile duct into the duodenum of the small intestine.

Which one is not an enzyme of digestive system?

  1. Enterokinase

  2. Amylase

  3. Trypsin

  4. Enterogastrone
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Enterogastrone is a hormone, whereas amylase, trypsin and enterokinase are enzymes. Amylase is starch splitting enzyme, while trypsin is a proteolytic enzyme. Enterokinase is a proteolytic enzyme, which acts on trypsinogen and converts it to active trypsin. Enterogastrone, is a hormone secreted by the duodenal mucosa, when fatty food is in the stomach or small intestine; it is also thought to be released, when sugars and proteins are in the intestine. Enterogastrone is transported by the bloodstream to the glands and muscles of the stomach, where it inhibits gastric movements and secretions, possibly by blocking the production or activity of gastrin, the hormone that initially causes these functions.
