Which hormone stimulates the secretion of digestive enzymes from the pancreas?
medium Q5 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Understand pancreatic hormone regulation
The question asks which hormone stimulates the pancreas to release digestive enzymes.Step 2: Recall functions of digestive hormones
Cholecystokinin (CCK) is released from the small intestine and stimulates the pancreas to secrete digestive enzymes such as trypsin, lipase, and amylase.Step 3: Eliminate other hormones
Secretin mainly stimulates bicarbonate secretion; gastrin stimulates gastric acid secretion; insulin regulates blood glucose levels.Final Answer:
Cholecystokinin (CCK) → Option CQuick Check:
Pancreatic enzyme secretion hormone = CCK ✅
Quick Trick: CCK = Chyme Comes → enzymes released
Common Mistakes:
- Confusing secretin (bicarbonate) with CCK (digestive enzymes).
