Concept #1: Arrival at the Duodenum-- Secretin and CCK

Practice: An undergraduate researcher in a physiology lab administers an unknown hormone to a rat. The rat’s gall bladder contracts, causing bile to be released into its duodenum. Which of the following is the likely identity of this hormone?

Practice: An undergraduate researcher in a physiology lab administers an unknown hormone to a rat. The pH in the rat’s duodenum increases. Which of the following is the likely identity of this hormone?
