Solution
The correct option is A Secretin Pancreatic juice is composed of digestive enzymes and bicarbonate. The release of pancreatic juice is regulated by two hormones, secretin and cholecystokinin. Secretin hormone helps regulate the pH of the duodenum. It inhibits the secretion of gastric acid. It also stimulates the acinar cells of the pancreas to release water and bicarbonate into the pancreatic ducts.
