Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
D

The juxtaglomerular cells of kidney produce a peptide hormone called erythropoietin which stimulates erythropoiesis (formation of RBC).
Endocrine cells present in different parts of the gastro - intestinal tract secrete four major peptide hormones, namely gastrin, secretin, cholecystokinin (CCK) and gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP).
Gastrin acts on the gastric glands and stimulates the secretion of hydrochloric acid and pepsinogen.
Secretin acts on the exocrine pancreas and stimulates secretion of water and bicarbonate ions.
CCK acts on both pancreas and gall bladder and stimulates the secretion of pancreatic enzymes and bile juice, respectively.
GIP inhibits gastric secretion and motility. Several other non-endocrine tissues secrete hormones called growth factors. These factors are essential for the normal growth of tissues and their repairing/regeneration.
