Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The intestinal phase is triggered by the presence of acidic chyme entering the duodenum from the stomach. During this phase, the duodenum releases hormones that inhibit gastric secretions and stimulate the release of digestive enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the liver.

Answer: A 
 The cephalic phase is triggered by the thought, sight, smell, or taste of food, causing the brain to send signals to the stomach to start preparing for digestion. This phase is also responsible for triggering the release of gastric juices in anticipation of food.

Answer: B 
 The gastric phase is the phase of gastric secretion that occurs once food enters the stomach. During this phase, gastric juices are secreted, primarily hydrochloric acid and pepsinogen, that help to break down food in the stomach. This phase is regulated by hormones and neural signals that respond to the presence of food in the stomach.
