After eating, the gut releases a hormone called cholecystokinin (CCK), which promotes digestion and curbs hunger.

<h3>Is CCK an appetite suppressant?</h3>

Although CCK may only be one of many satiety signals, when given exogenously at pharmacologic levels, it can result in a significant reduction in food intake. Humans' appetites can be decreased by administering exogenous CCK or endogenous CCK released by oral protease inhibitors.

<h3>What use does CCK function?</h3>

The proximal small intestine contains a high concentration of CCK cells, and when food is consumed, the hormone is secreted into the blood. CCK's physiological effects include inducing satiety, regulating stomach emptying, and stimulating pancreatic secretion and gallbladder contraction.

<h3>CCK secretion: What is it?</h3>

A peptide/neurotransmitter secreted by neurons of the central and peripheral nervous systems, cholecystokinin (CCK) is a hormone released by the I-cells of the upper small intestine in response to fat, protein, and some nonnutrients.

djyliett [7]

Complete Question: Fill in the blanks with the terms provided. Not all terms will be used: inferior vena cava, superior vena cava, destruction, production, digestive organs, spleen, liver respiratory organ, nutrients, thymus and harmful agents.

Answer:

Blood is transported from the veins of the DIGESTIVE ORGAN into a hepatic portal system that drains the blood into the LIVER before this blood drains to the INFERIOR VENA CAVA . The hepatic portal system is needed because the veins of the GI tract absorb digested NUTRIENTS , and these must be processed by the liver. The liver also detoxifies any HARMFUL AGENTS absorbed by the gastrointestinal blood vessels. The hepatic portal system also receives products of erythrocyte DESTRUCTION from the SPLEEN , so that the liver can recycle some of these components.

Explanation: The hepatic portal system functions to deliver deoxygenated blood to the liver from gastrointestinal tract,gall bladder, pancreas and spleen to be detoxified before returning to the right side of the heart through the inferior vena cava.
