____ causes the pancreas to release pancreatic juice high in digestive enzymes
A
cholecystokinin
B
insulin
C
secretin
D
glucagon
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -(“Cholecystokinin” means to “move the gallbladder.") It stimulates your pancreas to release pancreatic enzymes. (This is what its other name, “pancreozymin, ‘’ means.) Bile salts and digestive enzymes help to break down proteins and fats into smaller molecules that can be absorbed in your small intestine.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cholecystokinin stimulates the gallbladder to contract and release stored bile into the intestine. It also stimulates the secretion of pancreatic juice and may induce satiety.

Detailed explanation-3: -Exocrine Function: These enzymes include trypsin and chymotrypsin to digest proteins; amylase for the digestion of carbohydrates; and lipase to break down fats. When food enters the stomach, these pancreatic juices are released into a system of ducts that culminate in the main pancreatic duct.
