The correct option is (A) Gastrin.

Stomach acts as an important organ in the process of digestion aiding both the mechanical and chemical digestion. Gastric glands are present in the walls of the stomach and help in the secretion of the gastric juice into the lumen of the stomach. The zymogenic cells or the chief cells of the gastric glands secrete the gastric enzymes and the parietal cells or the oxyntic cells secrete hydrochloric acid.

The gastric juice is an acidic digestive fluid containing the hydrochloric acid, digestive enzymes like pepsin, gastric lipase and renin, potassium chloride and sodium chloride. Secretion of gastric juice is regulated by the autonomic nervous system (peripheral nervous system that influcences the funtioning of internal organs) and hormones.

The hormone produced mainly in the stomach which regulates the secretions of gastric juice is the gastrin. It is a peptide hormone stimulating the secretion of hydrochloric acid by the parietal cells of the stomach. It also stimulates the chief cells to secrete pepsinogen which is the inactive form of the enzyme pepsin catalyzing the protein digestion.

Secretin is a hormone produced by the duodenum (part of small intestine) to stimulate the secretions of liver and pancreas. Pepsin is an enzyme helping in the digestion of proteins. Thus, gastrin is the hormone produced in the stomach regulating the secretion of the gastric juice.

Hey!


ANSWER:
The hormone that is produced mainly in the stomach and also regulates secretions of gastric juice is gastrin.

EXPLANATION:
Gastrin is a type hormone that is produced by the something known as g cells. These cells become activated once a person eats food and the food travels to the stomach. The hormone is then left into what is called the bloodstream. There it starts to have an effect on some of the other cells that are in the stomach. This allows the acid of the hormone to be entered in the stomach.

Hope this helps!

How do oxygen and glucose molecules release energy in the cells? please make it simple
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Your body cells use the oxygen you breathe to get energy from the food you eat. This process is called cellular respiration. During cellular respiration the cell uses oxygen to break down sugar. When the cell uses oxygen to break down sugar, oxygen is used, carbon dioxide is produced, and energy is released. In cells use oxygen to release energy stored in sugars such as glucose. In fact, most of the energy used by the cells in your body is provided by cellular respiration.

Explanation:

i tried my best to break it down into a simple explanation. hope this isn't too complicated, and i hope it helps!! have a nice day.

topjm [15]

Complete Question:

Cortisol is a hormone produced in response to stress, including starvation, in humans. Which of the following is most likely an immediate effect of a starvation-induced increase in cortisol secretion?

(A) Increased activation of the immune system

(B) Increased urine production by the kidneys

(C) Increased bone and collagen formation

(D) Increased mobilization of fatty acids from fat cells

Answer: Increased mobilization of fatty acids from fat cells.

Explanation: Cortisol is a hormone produced in response to stress, including starvation, in humans. Immediate effect of a starvation-induced increase in cortisol secretion is the increased mobilization of fatty acids from fat cells (Adipose tissue).

Starvation occurs when an animal doesn't feed due to unavailability of food. The body system makes use of stored glycogen which is synthesized to glucose by hormonal secretion of glucagon by the pancreas.

However, when the glucose converted is finished. Cortisol is secreted, which then initiate the mobilization of fatty acids as source of energy from the adipose tissues (fat cells) in the body system.
