Secretin is a hormone that controls the secretions into the duodenum, and also separately, water homeostasis throughout the body. It is produced in the S cells of the duodenum in the crypts of Lieberkühn.[1] Its effect is to regulate the pH of the duodenal contents via the control of gastric acid secretion and buffering with bicarbonate from the centroacinar cells of the pancreas as well as intercalated ducts. It is notable for being the first hormone to be identified.[2] In humans, the secretin peptide is encoded by the SCT gene

What is the intestinal phase?

control of gastroc secretion is divided to cephalic phase, gastric phase and intestinal phase. Among these, intestinal phase means gastric secretion in stomach as a result of stimulation in intestine by food. when the food reaches the intestine it secrete gastrin and the hormone transports to stomach by circulation. amount of secretion in intestinal phase is smaller and slower than that of cephalic and gastric phase. by the way if substance like acid, lipid or any high osmotic solution entered intestine, duodenum, gastric secretion decreases this time. This is because of enterogastrone released from duodenum. there are also other hormones such as cholecystokinin and gastric inhibitory peptide. they inhibit the secretion in stomach.


Fat in the duodenum stimulates which hormone?

The original answer posted was Cholecystokinin, which is actually a peptide hormone that is released to inhibit gastric mobility. But it is not the first hormone to be released when fat or food initially contacts the duodenum.When Fat enters the duodenum, this accounts for the third phase of gastric secretion, called intestinal phase. This phase accounts for 5% of the total secretory response. It begins when food leaves the stomach and enters the small intestine (duodenum). When the food first contacts the intestinal wall, it stimulates intestinal cells to release a hormone called, intestinal gastrin, that enhances gastric gland secretion.


Which hormone will stimulate the opening of the pyloric sphincter?

Gastrin is the hormone that stimulates the opening of the pyloric sphincter. It is secreted by the stomach in response to the presence of food and stimulates the release of gastric acid as well as the relaxation of the pyloric sphincter to allow food to pass from the stomach to the small intestine.


When a person eats a hormone is released. This hormone signals the stomach to start breaking down the food.?

The hormone released when a person eats is gastrin. Gastrin stimulates the stomach to produce gastric acid and enzymes, which help break down food for digestion. This process aids in the absorption of nutrients in the small intestine.
