Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -CCK stimulates pancreatic secretion by two possible mechanisms. First, CCK binds CCK-1 receptors on pancreatic acinar cells and stimulates release of enzymes. A second mechanism is indirect whereby CCK binds CCK-1 receptors on capsaicin-sensitive C-type vagal afferent fibers.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cholecystokinin (CCK) and secretin are the peptide hormones that stimulate the production of pancreatic juice and bicarbonates within the alimentary canal.
