Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gastrin is a hormone released by the stomach in response to the presence of food. It stimulates the release of HCl and pepsinogen, as well as the contraction of the stomach muscle. Secretin, on the other hand, is released by the small intestine and stimulates the pancreas to release bicarbonate to neutralize the acid coming from the stomach. Trypsin is an enzyme produced by the pancreas that helps to digest proteins.
