Question

give the function of secretin​

Answer 1

Answer:

In humans, the secretin peptide is encoded by the SCT gene. Secretin helps regulate the pH of the duodenum by

(1) inhibiting the secretion of gastric acid from the parietal cells of the stomach and

(2) stimulating the production of bicarbonate from the ductal cells of the pancreas.

Answer 2

Answer:

Secretin has 3 main functions: regulation of gastric acid, regulation of pancreatic bicarbonate, and osmoregulation. The major physiological actions of secretin are stimulation of pancreatic fluid and bicarbonate secretion. S cells in the small intestine emit secretin.
