Multiple Choice
Which of the following is NOT a function of cholecystokinin (CCK)?
A
Promoting the release of pancreatic enzymes
B
Increasing gastric acid secretion
C
Slowing gastric emptying
D
Stimulating the release of bile from the gallbladder
Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand the role of cholecystokinin (CCK) in the digestive system. CCK is a hormone released by the small intestine in response to the presence of fats and proteins.
Identify the primary functions of CCK: promoting the release of pancreatic enzymes, stimulating the release of bile from the gallbladder, and slowing gastric emptying.
Recognize that CCK helps in digestion by ensuring that enzymes and bile are available to break down food, and by regulating the speed at which food leaves the stomach.
Consider the option 'Increasing gastric acid secretion'. Gastric acid secretion is primarily stimulated by gastrin, another hormone, not CCK.
Conclude that the function 'Increasing gastric acid secretion' is not associated with CCK, as it does not align with the known roles of CCK in the digestive process.
