What hormone is secreted by the duodenum?
Besides, what enzymes are secreted by the duodenum?
Most chemical digestion occurs in the duodenum where the digestive enzymes - pepsin from the stomach and amylases, lipases and proteases from the pancreas - are all available. The cells of the mucosal epithelium of the small intestine also produce enzymes that help complete digestion, particularly of proteins.
Likewise, people ask, what hormones does the small intestine secrete?
Cholecystokinin: A small intestinal hormone that stimulates secretion of pancreatic enzymes and bile. Secretin: Another hormone secreted from small intestinal epithelial cells; stimulates secretion of a bicarbonate-rich fluids from the pancreas and liver.
S cells in the small intestine emit secretin. Gastric acid stimulates secretin release, allowing movement into the duodenal lumen. Secretin causes an increase in pancreatic and biliary bicarbonate secretion and a decrease in gastric H+ secretion. Secretin stimulates the secretion of bicarbonate-rich pancreatic fluid.
