Solution

The hormone that stimulates the secretion of enzymes from the pancreas is Cholecystokinin (CCK). Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. When food enters the stomach and then the small intestine, the presence of the food (especially fats and proteins) stimulates the cells in the lining of the small intestine to release Cholecystokinin (CCK).

  2. CCK then enters the bloodstream and travels to various parts of the body.

  3. When CCK reaches the pancreas, it binds to receptors on the pancreatic cells.

  4. This binding signals the pancreas to secrete digestive enzymes, which then travel to the small intestine to help break down the food further.

So, the correct answer to your question is Cholecystokinin (CCK).
