7) Fill in the table below with the correct hormone.
Ghrelin Gastrin Secretin Cholecystokinin GI Hormone Origin Target Actions 1) Gastrin G cells in the fundic Stimulates HCL production by parietal cells; Stimulate enzyme gland region of the secretion by chief cells; Induces pancreatic secretions and stomach gallbladder contraction
2) Cholecystokinin Enteroendocrine Stimulates release of pancreatic enzymes (trypsin, lipases, (CCK) cells in the nucleases, and other proteases) into the duodenum; Stimulates duodenum contraction of the gallbladder and release of bile into the duodenum. Bile helps to emulsify fats and prepare them for digestion by pancreatic lipases; May act as a hunger suppressant.
3) Secretin Produced by S cells Maintains water homeostasis; Regulates fluid environment of the in the duodenum duodenum by influencing secretions draining into this region from the stomach, liver, and pancreas; Regulates duodenal pH by inhibiting gastric acid (HCL) secretion and promoting bicarbonate ion release from centroacinar cells in the pancreas; Stimulates bile production by the liver.
4) Ghrelin Enteroendocrine Stimulates food intake so consider the 'hunger' hormone; Increases cells in the stomach gastric motility and gastric acid secretion; Acts on the anterior and less so the pituitary gland, hypothalamic arcuate nucleus, and neuropeptide Y duodenum region neurons to stimulate appetite; Regulates reward centers in the brain; Regulates learning and memory; Involved in sleep-wake cycle; Regulates taste sensation; Regulates glucose metabolism.
