Summarize the main effects that ACh, gastrin, secretin, CCK, and GIP each have on the digestive system.
ACh: Acetylcholine. It stimulates parietal cells to secrete hydrochloric acid and intrinsic factor; mucus secretion of the mucus cells of the digestive tract, and it stimulates gastric chief cells to secrete pepsinogen (a digestive enzyme)..
Gastrin: It´s a hormone that stimulates the secretion of pepsinogen (from gastric glands) and it also stimulates the parietal cells to secret hydrochloric acid and intrinsic factor.
Secretin: A hormone that signals the secretion of sodium bicarbonate in the pancreas and stimulates the secretion of bile in the liver.
On the duodenum:
CCK: Hormone Cholecystokinin. It stimulates the release of digestive enzimes in the pancreas and the emptying of bile from the gall bladder.
GIP: Gastric inhibitory peptide. It´s a hormone that decreases the stomach churning in order to slow down the emptying of the stomach.
