secretin
(Science: hormone) peptide hormone of gastrointestinal tract (27 residues) found in the mucosal cells of duodenum. Stimulates pancreatic, pepsin and bile secretion, inhibits gastric acid secretion.
secretin A hormone produced in the duodenum that stimulates alkaline secretions by the pancreas and inhibits gastric emptying.
secretion The release of a substance in response to the presence of food or speci?c neural or hormonal stimulation.
Secretin
In a different and rare manner, secretin, produced in the small intestine, has most effects on the pancreas, but will also diminish acid secretion in the stomach.

The alveoli are almost completely filled with secreting cells, so that scarcely any lumen is visible. In some animals spindle-shaped cells occupy the center of the alveolus and are known as the centroacinar cells of Langerhans.
They start secreting substances. They secrete interferon, which is very powerful against HIV. But interferon also is a mediator of the immune system, and it activates the adaptive immune system.
The stimulated B cell undergoes repeated cell divisions, enlargement and differentiation to form a clone of antibody secreting plasma cells. Hence.

In vertebrates, the endocrine glands are themselves usually under the control of the nervous system. An exception is that the acid of the stomach directly stimulates the endocrine cells of the stomach which produce the hormone, secretin.
