Question

Which of the following hormone secretes a gastric secretion?

• A. Entero gastrone
• B. Gastrin
• C. CCK-PZ
• D. Villikinin

Answer 1

The correct option is B Gastrin

• Gastrin is a peptide hormone that stimulates the secretion of gastric acid (HCl) by the cells of the stomach.
• It helps in gastric motility. It is secreted by the gastric glands of the stomach, duodenum, and pancreas.
• It also stimulates the mucosal secretions in an acid-secreting part of the stomach.
• The stimulation for the secretion of gastrin is the presence of peptides derived from dietary proteins.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
