  1. None of the above.  The gall bladder's only function is to store and release bile that is produced in the liver.

    Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is produced in the pancreas and the intestines but not the gall bladder.

    The hormone cholecystokinin (CCK) triggers contraction of the gall bladder which makes it release the bile it is storing.

    Secretin is produced in the duodenum.

    Gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) is a type of secretin (which is produced in the small intestine)

    Somatostatin is a growth inhibiting hormone secreted in the

    stomach, pancreas, and the intestine.


  2. none

  3. None,  The gallbladder secretes bile in response to cholecystokinin (CCK).
