Gastrin is released by G cells in the stomach in response to mechanical distension and the presence of peptides, stimulating acid secretion.

Cholecystokinin (CCK) is the hormone that stimulates the pancreas to release digestive enzymes.

Gastrin is secreted by G cells, which are a type of enteroendocrine cell found in the gastric glands of the stomach.

• Secretin is a hormone secreted by the small intestine on being stimulated by low pH. It stimulates the pancreas to release water and bicarbonate ions. These are then drained into the pancreatic duct.

Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a peptide hormone of the gastrointestinal system responsible for stimulating the digestion of fat and protein.

Secretin is a classic gastrointestinal hormone that regulates the digestive environment.

Secretin is produced by the S cells in the mucosa of the duodenum (part of the small intestine).

The secretion of succus entericus (intestinal juice) is stimulated by both secretin and cholecystokinin.

Cortisol is a glucocorticoid hormone produced by the adrenal cortex, not a gastrointestinal hormone.
