Question

Explain the role of any three gastro-intestinal hormones.

Answer 1

FUNCTIONS OF GASTRIN :-

Gastrin is a peptide hormone that stimulates secretion of gastric acid (HCl) by the parietal cells of the stomach and aids in gastric motility. It is released by G cells in the pyloric antrum of the stomach, duodenum, and the pancreas.

ROLE OF SECRETIN :-

Secretin is involved in a number of functions of the body, its primary role is to stimulate the pancreas to secrete digestive fluids that are rich in bicarbonate and neutralise the acids from the stomach as they pass into the small intestine. It also stimulates the stomach to produce an enzyme called pepsin, which helps break down proteins.
