98
Q

Method for studying processes related to cephalic phase

sham feeding: eaten food is diverted by gastric or esophageal catheter so it can’t accumulate, stopping food processing. (In humans: food is tasted by not swallowed)

99
Q

What, in the lumen of the stomach, inhibits gastrin release?

103
Q

Two hours after a meal;

A

F. skeletal muscle

114
Q

What happens in the complex reflex involving the nerve coordination of skeletal muscle?

A

the lower sphincter of the esophagus

121
Q

Neurotransmitter for the relaxation of LES:

A

VIP and NO (inhibitory motor neurons)

122
Q

Functions of the stomach:

T

185
Q

T

209
Q

What cells release pepsinogen?

A

chief cells

210
Q

When, in swallowing, does the lower sphincter of the esophagus open?

A

right after food is pushed form the pharynx and past the upper sphincter of the esophagus

211
Q

Pressure in the stomach does not raise significantly until:

A

1,500 ml of volume filled

212
Q

How is the intraluminal pressure altered with a vagotmoy?

A

pressure begins to rise at a much lower stomach volume, almost linearly

213
Q

What prevents food from entering the small intestines too quickly?

A

greater concentration of GAP junctions need the antrum of the stomach which speed contraction ahead of the wave. This prevents the forward progression of the bolus.

neutralize the acidic pH of the gastric contents…?
