Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Pancreatic Polypeptide (PP) is a hormone secreted by the F cells (also known as gamma cells), which are scattered throughout the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas, primarily in the head of the pancreas. Its secretion is stimulated by the ingestion of a meal, particularly one rich in protein. Its primary functions are inhibitory: it inhibits the secretion of pancreatic digestive enzymes, inhibits gall bladder contraction, and slows down gastric emptying. It is thought to regulate the rate of nutrient absorption and prevent over-digestion.
