Solution

The correct option is C Gastrin
  • The hormone responsible for vagus nerve activity is gastrin. Gastrin is a hormone that is responsible to release gastric acid. It is produced by the G-cells of the stomach. The vagus nerve is the tenth cranial nerve that interacts with parasympathetic control of the lungs, heart, and digestive system.
  • CCK or Cholecystokinin is a hormone secreted by the gastrointestinal system. It is responsible for the digestion of fat and proteins.
  • Secretin is responsible for the stimulation of liver and pancreatic juices.
  • GIP or Gastric inhibitory polypeptide helps in the stimulation of insulin secretion.
Hence, the correct answer is option C.
