Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This phase is known as the cephalic phase and is initiated by signals from the brain in response to sensory stimuli related to food, such as the sight, smell, taste, or even thought of food.

Answer: B
 The gastric phase is the second phase of gastric secretion and is triggered by the presence of food in the stomach. This phase involves the release of gastric juices, such as hydrochloric acid and pepsinogen, to help break down food in the stomach.

Answer: C
 The intestinal phase is the third and final phase of gastric secretion and is triggered by the presence of food in the small intestine. This phase involves the release of intestinal hormones that inhibit gastric secretion and motility to slow down the emptying of the stomach and allow for proper digestion and absorption in the small intestine.
