Acid (Hcl) is secreted by the parietal cells of the stomach. In the stomach the food itself and saliva from mouth (this is little alkaline) regulates acidity of the stomach. But acid in normal quantity is needed for digestion, specially for meats, hard and solid foods.
gastrin
Yes, Gastrin is a hormone that the stomach secretes to help balance the pH when it rises. see chacha.com
The normal pH of stomach juice typically ranges from 1.5 to 3.5, making it highly acidic. This acidity is primarily regulated by the secretion of gastric acid (hydrochloric acid) from the parietal cells in the stomach lining, which is stimulated by factors such as the presence of food, the hormone gastrin, and the nervous system. The pH is essential for activating digestive enzymes and facilitating the breakdown of food. Additionally, the stomach has mechanisms to protect itself from excessive acidity, such as mucus production and bicarbonate secretion.
No, but insulin is a hormone that regulates the body's production of glucose.
Negative feedback usually regulates hormone concentrations in the blood.
Secretin is a hormone produced by the S cells of the duodenum in response to acidic chyme entering the small intestine from the stomach. Its primary function is to stimulate the pancreas to release bicarbonate-rich fluid, which helps neutralize stomach acid, creating an optimal pH for digestive enzymes in the intestine. Additionally, secretin promotes bile production in the liver and regulates gastric acid secretion, contributing to overall digestive processes.
That is hormone gastrin. It is secreted by stomach
Because the chemical that works in the stomach- pepsin (a chemical that breaks down proteins) only works in acidic conditions, which is low pH. Hope that helps
false it's Gastrin
No. Your liver does not secretes any such hormone. Your thyroid does.
The pituitary gland regulates growth and metabolism by secreting hormones such as growth hormone and thyroid stimulating hormone.
The stomach!
