What intestinal hormone is particularly responsible for these functions, causing the pancreas to release digestive enzymes and the gallbladder to release bile salts into the intestine?

Hydrochloric Acid

Explanation:

Gastrin is in the stomach and stimulates the gastric organs to emit hydrochloric acid and pepsinogen (a dormant type of the protein pepsin) The emission of gastrin is invigorated by nourishment showing up in the stomach. The emission is restrained by low pH The digestive system works intimately with the circulatory system to get the ingested supplements disseminated through your body While the stomach related system gathers and expels undigested solids, the excretory system channels mixes from the circulatory system and collects them in urine
