Hormonal Control: Gastrin, Secretin, CCK

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Gastrin stimulates stomach acid release; secretin triggers pancreatic bicarbonate to neutralize chyme; cholecystokinin triggers pancreatic enzymes and gallbladder bile release, coordinating digestion across organs.

Show

Fatty chyme entering the duodenum triggers cholecystokinin release, prompting bile delivery exactly when fat needs emulsifying.

Watch for

Somatostatin, not gastrin, is the hormone that stops acid release once the stomach empties — the two work in opposition.
