Which hormone stimulates the acinar cells of the pancreas to secrete digestive enzymes?

Answer: Gastrin hormone

Explanation:

Pancreatic secretions include enzymes essential for digesting proteins, starch, and triglycerides. Once these substances, and particularly the small intestine, reach the stomach, they trigger the release of gastrin and cholecystokinin, which in effect stimulates the secretion of destruction enzymes.

Gastrin is secreted by the stomach in large amounts as a response to gastric distention and discomfort. Gastrin induces pancreatic acinar cells to secrete digestive enzymes, in addition to inducing acid secretion by the parietal cell.

Hence, the correct answer is gastrin.
