Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stomach emptying is primarily controlled by waves of peristalsis, which are coordinated contractions of the stomach wall that push food towards the pyloric sphincter and into the small intestine. Gastrin and HCl secretions play a role in digestion but do not directly control stomach emptying. Spinal cord reflexes and rugae do not have a significant role in controlling stomach emptying.
