The document discusses the hormones that regulate digestive activity in the gastrointestinal tract. It describes that gastrointestinal hormones are peptides secreted by enteroendocrine cells located along the mucosa. These hormones support the function of the organs that release them and enter the circulatory system rather than the GI lumen. Some hormones exhibit potentiation, where a combined action is greater than the individual effects. Specific hormones discussed include gastrin, cholecystokinin, secretin, gastric inhibitory polypeptide, and motilin.
