State to mechanisms by which secretion of gastric juices is controlled.

D.2.U1 Nervous and hormonal mechanisms control the secretion of digestive juices.

1. Food in the stomach causes the stretch activating stretch receptor proteins

2. Nerve Signal from stomach to brain ‘I’m Stretching”

3. Nerve Signal from your brain ‘You’re Stretching”

4. Endocrine glands made up of parietal cells in the stomach (and duodenum) secrete gastrin into the blood

5. Gastrin moves into the stomach and around the body and back to the stomach

6. When Gastrin is in the stomach, exocrine glands secrete gastric juice and increases motility

Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a hormone produced in your small intestine. It plays a fundamental role in the digestive process.

When fats and proteins enter your small intestine, cholecystokinin triggers your gallbladder and pancreas to contract.

They deliver bile and enzymes to your duodenum to help break down the food for absorption.
