• B. Intestine
• C. Oesophagus
• D. Both A and B

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both A and B

Enteroendocrine glands are the endocrine glands present in gastrointestinal tract. Endocrine glands secrete their products directly into the blood stream. For example, cholecystokinin is secreted from duodenum (part of small intestine) and stimulates the contraction of gall bladder to release bile juice and also stimulates secretion of pancreatic juice. An example of hormone secreted from enteroendocrine gland in stomach is gastrin which stimulates secretion of gastric juice.

Hence, both options A and B are correct.

So, the correct answer is 'Both A and B'.
