user-description |
A hormone secreted by the duodenum that regulates secretions of the stomach and pancreas. Secretin causes the pancreas to release bicarbonate ions into the duodenum when acidic chyme is passed from the stomach into the duodenum, thus bringing the chyme to a pH that digestive enzymes can tolerate. It also reduces acid secretion by the stomach. |
