Enterogastrone also known as gastric inhibitory peptide is secreted by mucosa of duodenum of the small intestine. It inhibits gastric secretions and movements.
Stimulation of secretion of hydrochloric acid and activation of inactive pepsinogen is the function of hormone gastrin.
Stimulation of secretion of water and bicarbonate ions is a function of hormone secretin.
Stimulation of the secretion of pancreatic enzymes and bile juice is the function of hormone cholecystokinin (CCK).
