Explanation:
The five major hormones are: gastrin ( stomach ), secretin ( small intestine ), cholecytokinin (small intestine), gastric inhibitory peptide (small intestine), and motilin (small intestine).
Three of the best-studied enteric hormones are: Gastrin: Secreted from the stomach and plays an important role in control of gastric acid secretion. Cholecystokinin: A small intestinal hormone that stimulates secretion of pancreatic enzymes and bile.
Most of the chemical reactions occur in the stomach and small intestine. In the stomach, pepsin is the main digestive enzyme attacking proteins. Several other pancreatic enzymes go to work when protein molecules reach the small intestine. Lipase is produced in the pancreas and small intestine.
