Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Distension of the gastrointestinal tract contributes to termination of food intake by activating stretch receptors in the stomach and intestines, sending signals to the brain to reduce appetite and bring about satiety. The other options, such as release of cortisol, ghrelin, neuropeptide Y, and decrease in blood glucose level, can stimulate or increase appetite instead of terminating food intake.
