  2. Gastrointestinal hormone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrointestinal_hormone

    Little gastrin: 2098: 17: Both forms of gastrin are found in the gastric antrum and duodenum: Gastrins stimulate the secretion of gastric acid, pepsinogen, intrinsic factor, and secretin; stimulate intestinal mucosal growth; increase gastric and intestinal motility Big gastrin: 3839: 34: Secretin-glucagon family: Secretin: 3056: 27: Duodenum ...

  3. Secretin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secretin

    Meanwhile, in concert with secretin's actions, the other main hormone simultaneously issued by the duodenum, cholecystokinin (CCK), stimulates the gallbladder to contract, delivering its stored bile. Prosecretin is a precursor to secretin, which is present in digestion. Secretin is stored in this unusable form, and is activated by gastric acid ...

  4. Gastrin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrin

    Gastrin is a linear peptide hormone produced by G cells of the duodenum and in the pyloric antrum of the stomach.It is secreted into the bloodstream. The encoded polypeptide is preprogastrin, which is cleaved by enzymes in posttranslational modification to produce progastrin (an intermediate, inactive precursor) and then gastrin in various forms, primarily the following three:

  5. Phases of digestion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phases_of_digestion

    50-60% of total gastric acid secretion occurs during this phase. The gastric phase is a period in which swallowed food and semidigested protein (peptides and amino acids) activate gastric activity. Ingested food stimulates gastric activity in two ways: by stretching the stomach and by gastric contents stimulating receptors in the stomach. [2]

  6. Digestive enzyme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digestive_enzyme

    Secretin, a hormone produced by the duodenal "S cells" in response to the stomach chyme containing high hydrogen atom concentration (high acidity), is released into the blood stream; upon return to the digestive tract, secretion decreases gastric emptying, increases secretion of the pancreatic ductal cells, as well as stimulating pancreatic ...

  7. Gastrointestinal physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrointestinal_physiology

    However, once it reaches the gastric lumen it becomes activated into pepsin by the high H+ concentration, becoming an enzyme vital to digestion. The release of the enzymes is regulated by neural, hormonal, or paracrine signals. However, in general, parasympathetic stimulation increases secretion of all digestive enzymes.

  8. G cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_cell

    A G cell or gastrin cell is a type of cell in the stomach and duodenum that secretes gastrin. It works in conjunction with gastric chief cells and parietal cells. G cells are found deep within the pyloric glands of the stomach antrum, and occasionally in the pancreas [1] and duodenum. The vagus nerve innervates the G cells.

  9. Gastrin family - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrin_family

    The gastrin family (also known as the gastrin/cholecystokinin family) of proteins is defined by the peptide hormones gastrin and cholecystokinin. [1] Gastrin and cholecystokinin (CCK) [ 2 ] are structurally and functionally related peptide hormones that serve as regulators of various digestive processes and feeding behaviors.
