The gastric phase is specifically associated with food stretching the stomach and activating reflexes that stimulate gastric secretions. The cephalic phase refers to the preparation of the digestive tract in response to the sight, smell, or taste of food. The intestinal phase refers to the regulation of digestive processes in the small intestine. The gastrointestinal and mesenteric phases are not commonly referenced in the context of the digestive process.
