Is there any hormonal control on intestinal secretion?

Answer 1

Answer is YES, via a local hormone named Enterocrinin.

Enterocrinin is secreted into the surrounding blood capillaries by the endocrinal cells of the duodenal wall as the acidic chyme from the stomach enters the duodenum.

It causes the small intestinal mucosa's Lieberkuhn crypts to release the digestive juice known as succus entericus.

Yes, there is hormonal control on intestinal secretion. Hormones such as gastrin, secretin, cholecystokinin (CCK), and gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) regulate the secretion of digestive enzymes and fluids in the intestines.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
