Gastrointestinal System Nursing Exam Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which neurotransmitter is involved in the regulation of many of the secretory cells of the gastric (stomach) mucosa?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is involved in regulating secretory cells in the gastric mucosa by stimulating the release of gastric acid and enzymes. Norepinephrine and dopamine are not directly involved in gastric secretions. Insulin is a hormone involved in glucose metabolism, not gastric regulation. Acetylcholine's role in stimulating gastric secretions makes it the correct choice.
