In the United Kingdom and the United States, butter beans refers to either dried beans which can be purchased to rehydrate, or the canned variety which are ready to use. In culinary use there, lima beans and butter beans are distinct, the latter being large and yellow, the former small and green. In areas where both are considered to be lima beans, the green variety may be labelled as baby (and less commonly junior) limas.
Which of the following is a digestive hormone that causes the liver to:? Which of the following is a digestive hormone that causes the liver to increase its production of bile and the gallbladder to release stored bile? My answer was GIP and CCK. The correct answer was actually CCK.
The bile then goes into the gallbladder where it is stored and concentrated for later use. When you eat a fatty meal, a hormone called cholecystokinin (CCK) is secreted. It causes the gallbladder to contract and also causes relaxation of a small valve (the sphincter of Oddi) at the end of the common bile duct. This allows bile to flow into the duodenum and mix with food for digestion. After the CCK effect wears off, the valve closes, the gallbladder relaxes, and the cycle is repeated.
