Secretin is the most important hormone of digestive tract and also first hormone discovered in digestive tract. This hormone stimulates pancreas for synthesis and secretion of non enzymatic part of pancreatic juice. It also stimulates liver for secretion of bile juice and inhibit the gastric acid secretion in stomach and reduce rate of contraction of stomach.

As food enters the confined space of the stomach, it starts applying pressure to the stomach wall. As food enters the stomach, the food bangs against the stomach wall, distending it. This distention causes the stomach to release gastrin. Gastrin stimulates the gastric glands to secrete more gastric juice. 

Fatty acids in the lumen of the duodenum stimulate endocrine cells to release the hormone cholecystokinin (CCK). CCK stimulates contractions in the smooth muscle of the gallbladder. CCK causes relaxation of the sphincter of Oddi, allowing bile release into the duodenum.

When food leaves the stomach through its pyloric end and enters the duodenum it is called chyme (acidic). The $HCI$ of chyme stimulates the wall of duodenum to secrete hormones. It secretes various hormones, example secretin, which is the most important hormone of digestive tract and is released by duodenum. This hormone stimulates pancreas for synthesis and secretion of non enzymatic part of pancreatic juice. It also stimulates liver for secretion of bile juice and inhibit the gastric acid secretion in stomach and reduces rate of contraction of stomach.

Enterogastrone is a hormone secreted by the duodenal mucosa, when fatty food is in the stomach or small intestine; it is also 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, by blocking the production or activity of gastrin.

Wm. M. Bayliss and Ernest H. Starling  discovered  secretin, the first hormone, in 1902. They discovered this hormone when they were studying the pancreatic secretion. Secretin hormone stimulates the pancreas to secrete digestive fluid.

Secretin is the most important hormone of digestive tract. This hormone stimulates pancreas for synthesis and secretion of non enzymatic part of pancreatic juice, while pancreozymin promotes the secretion of enzymatic part of the pancreatic juice. Secretin also stimulates liver for secretion of bile juice and inhibit the gastric acid secretion in stomach and reduces rate of contraction of stomach.
