The 4 True Hormones are Gastin, Secretin, GIP and CCK.
The Gastin hormone stimulates secretion of gastric acid by parietal cells in the stomach. Gastin is released by G cells in stomach and causes the Ph level of stomach to decrease resulting in more acid.
Secretin is the hormone produced by duodenum. Secretin enters the bloodstream and induces pancreas to produce a juice that neutralizes the acidity contents of small intestine.
GIP stands for Gastric inhibitory polypeptide. This hormone causes decrease in HCL levels and Ph level in stomach becomes less acidic. GIP also induces insulin secretion.
CCK stand for cholecystokinin which is a hormone produced by the small intestine in response to the presence of fats. This causes the gall bladder to release bile and secretion of pancreatic digestive enzymes.
