Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The two central reflexes triggered by stimulation of the stretch receptors in the stomach wall are the gastroenteric reflex and the gastroileal reflex. The gastroenteric reflex stimulates motility and secretion in the small intestine, while the gastroileal reflex opens the ileocecal valve, allowing food to pass from the small intestine to the large intestine.
