Solution
The correct option is C Erythropoietin
Erythropoietin is a peptide hormone secreted by the juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney. It stimulates the process of RBC synthesis, which is called erythropoiesis.
There are four major peptide hormones that are secreted by the endocrine cells of gastrointestinal tract, secretin, gastrin, cholecystokinin (CCK), and gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP).
Secretin acts on the exocrine part of the pancreas and stimulates the secretion of water and bicarbonate ions.
Gastrin acts on gastric glands. It is responsible for secretion of hydrochloric acid and pepsinogen.
Cholecystokinin stimulates the secretion of pancreatic enzymes and bile juice by pancreas and gallbladder, respectively.
