Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a hormone secreted by the small intestine in response to the presence of food, specifically fat and protein. Its main function is to stimulate the release of digestive enzymes from the pancreas and to cause the gallbladder to contract and release bile into the small intestine. It also causes the relaxation of the hepatopancreatic sphincter, which allows pancreatic secretions and bile to enter the duodenum. However, CCK does not increase the sensation of hunger, so option E is not related to CCK.
