| Gastrin | Secreted in response to food entering the stomach, it triggers parietal cells to release HCL and chief cells to release pepsinogen. *Stimulates stomach and small intestinal motility* |
| Secretin | Secreted from the small intestine in response to acidic chyme entering the duodenum and the first part of the jejunum, secretin *stimulates the release of a bicarbonate-rich solution from the liver and pancreas.* |
| Cholecystokinin | Secreted from the small intestine in response to fat and breakdown products of proteins (peptides) entering the small intestine, cholecystokinin *stimulates the release of bile from the gallbladder into the small intestine*. It also stimulates the release of pancreatic enzymes, decreases stomach secretions, and slows stomach motility. |
