Answer 1

The correct option is D d

Cholecystokinin (CCK), formerly called as pancreozymin, is a digestive hormone released with secretin when food from the stomach reaches the duodenum. Cholecystokinin is secreted by cells of the upper small intestine. Its secretion is stimulated by the introduction of hydrochloric acid or fatty acids into the stomach or the duodenum. Cholecystokinin stimulates the gallbladder to contract and release stored bile into the intestine. It also stimulates the secretion of pancreatic juice.
