Q

what are the 3 phases of gastric sectetion?

A

cephalic phase - hcl and pepsinogen are released when we smell or taste food
gastric phase - when food enters stomach
intestinal phase

cephalic and gastric phase stimulate gastric juices, while intestinal phase slows gastric secretions and prepares small intestine
