Swallowing signals the stomach to relax so as to allow food to enter. what are the steps it goes through moving the food toward the duodenum

a)

Contractions originate in the fundus and move towrd the pyloric region. starting out gently and growing progressively stronger. peristaltic contractions breakdown food and mix it with gastric juices to form chyme

b)

chyme moves toward the pyloric sphincter, propelled by the rhythm of the contractions. Under the pressure of a contraction, about 30 mls chyme squirts into the duodenum.

c)

The stomach continues to churn and mix its contents as it gradually releases chyme into the duodenum. This continues until the stomach empties which takes about 4 hours after a typical meal.

2.

The stimulation of gastric secretion occurs in three phases.

a)

The thought, sight, smell or taste, creates neural impulses that are relayed to the brainstem. Parasympathetic nervous system then signals the stomach to secrete gastric juice as well as gastrin. Gastrin further stimulates gastric secretion

1.

cephalic phase

b)

The next phase begins when food enters the stomach. The stretching of the stomach as it fills with food triggers nerve reflexes that increase the secretion of gastric juice and gastrin

2.

gastric phase

c)

as chyme moves into the duodenum the intestinal phase begins. At this point the duodenum triggers nerve impulses and secretes hormones both of which inhibit gastric secretion.

3.

intestinal phase
