Secretin is a hormone produced by the small intestine in response to acidic chyme from the stomach. It helps regulate digestion by stimulating the pancreas to release bicarbonate, which neutralizes stomach acid, creating a more alkaline environment in the small intestine. This action aids in the optimal function of digestive enzymes and promotes the proper digestion and absorption of nutrients. Additionally, secretin encourages bile production in the liver, further supporting the digestion of fats.
