The taste or smell of food, tactile sensations of food in the mouth, or even thoughts of food stimulate the medulla oblongata (green arrow). 2. Parasympathetic action potentials are carried by the vagus nerves to the stomach (pink arrow). 3. Preganglionic parasympathetic vagus nerve fibers stimulate postganglionic neurons in the enteric plexus of the stomach. 4. Postganglionic neurons stimulate secretion by parietal and chief cells and stimulate gastrin secretion by endocrine cells. 5. Gastrin is carried through the circulation back to the stomach (purple arrow), where it stimulates secretion by parietal and chief cells. Cephalic Phase Gastrin Circulation Secretions stimulated Taste or smell of food Tactile sensation in mouth Medulla oblongata Vagus nerves Stomach

Stomach Local reflexes stimulated by stomach distention Distention Secretions stimulated Vagus nerves Medulla oblongata 1. Distention of the stomach activates a parasympathetic reflex. Action potentials are carried by the vagus nerves to the medulla oblongata (green arrow). 2. The medulla oblongata stimulates stomach secretions (pink arrow). 3. Distention of the stomach also activates local reflexes that increase stomach secretions (purple arrow). Gastric Phase 1 2 3

Chyme in the duodenum with a pH less than 2 or containing fat digestion products (lipids) inhibits gastric secretions by three mechanisms. 2. Sensory vagal action potentials to the medulla oblongata (green arrow) inhibit motor action potentials from the medulla oblongata (pink arrow). 3. Local reflexes inhibit gastric secretion (orange arrows). 4. Secretin, gastric inhibitory polypeptide, and cholecystokinin produced by the duodenum (brown arrows) inhibit gastric secretions in the stomach.
