CCK (cholecystokinin) is an intestinal hormone that is released during the intestinal phase of digestion and stimulates the contraction of the gall bladder leading to the flow of bile into the duodenum. GIP (gastric inhibitory peptide) inhibits gastric acid secretion and is released from the small intestine. Secretin stimulates secretion of bicarbonate-rich pancreatic juice and bile and is released from the small intestine. Gastrin stimulates gastric acid secretion and is released from the stomach. Bilirubin is a pigment that is formed from breakdown of heme and is excreted in bile.
