Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cholecystokinin (CCK) is the hormone that causes an increased output of enzyme-rich pancreatic juice and stimulates gallbladder contraction to release bile. Gastrin stimulates the release of gastric acid and pepsinogen in the stomach. Secretin stimulates the pancreas to secrete bicarbonate and water to neutralize acidic chyme from the stomach. Gastric inhibitor peptide (GIP) inhibits gastric acid secretion and stimulates insulin release from the pancreas.
