Question
The hormone that stimulates the release of pancreatic juice is
secretin
glucagon
inhibin
insulin
Solution
A.
secretin
To regulate the digestive function of the pancreas, the endocrine system uses two hormones, i.e. secretin and cholecystokinin.
Secretin is produced from the cells in the lining of the duodenum in response to acidic chyme emerging from the stomach. It stimulates the pancreas to produce and secrete pancreatic juice containing a high concentration of bicarbonate ions.
