Q50 / 200 · MHT CET - Medical 2026 (22 April Shift 1) · Biology
Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): The hormone secretin stimulates secretion of gastric juice in the stomach.
Statement (II): It also stimulates secretion of bile juice from the liver.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Statement (I): The hormone secretin stimulates secretion of gastric juice in the stomach.
Statement (II): It also stimulates secretion of bile juice from the liver.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
- ABoth Statement (I) and Statement (II) are correct.
- Correct answerBBoth Statement (I) and Statement (II) are incorrect.
- CStatement (I) is correct but Statement (II) is incorrect.
- DStatement (I) is incorrect but Statement (II) is correct.
Solution
Statement (I) is incorrect because gastrin acts on the gastric glands and stimulates the secretion of hydrochloric acid and pepsinogen, whereas secretin acts on the exocrine pancreas and stimulates the secretion of water and bicarbonate ions.
Statement (II) is incorrect because cholecystokinin (CCK) acts on both the pancreas and gall bladder and stimulates the secretion of pancreatic enzymes and bile juice, respectively. Secretin does not stimulate the secretion of bile juice from the liver.
Therefore, both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are incorrect.
Answer: Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are incorrect.
Statement (II) is incorrect because cholecystokinin (CCK) acts on both the pancreas and gall bladder and stimulates the secretion of pancreatic enzymes and bile juice, respectively. Secretin does not stimulate the secretion of bile juice from the liver.
Therefore, both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are incorrect.
Answer: Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are incorrect.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
