What stimulates the release of cholecystokinin?



Gastrin is secreted by the stomach. This is the hormone that regulates the production of hydrochloric acid. Its release is stimulated by the bolus entering the stomach. Secretin is secreted by the duodenum. It stimulates the pancreas to release pancreatic juice into the duodenum. The juice contains the digestive enzymes carbohydrase, lipase and protease in addition to bicarbonate which neutralizes acid chyme in the duodenum.

Cholecystokinin targets the contraction of the gall bladder.

The gallbladder then releases bile into the duodenum for fat emulsification
