When does digestion start in the human body?
The digestion process starts as soon as you put food into your mouth and begin to chew it.
Which phase of digestion occurs when you think about see or taste food?
A chemial change because during digestion carbohydrates are converted into simple sugar units,proteins into amino acids and so on, water and enzymes present in the body catalysed these reactions.
What are the phases of digestion?
interdigestive, cephalic, gastric and intestinal
Of cephalic phase or celiac phase or plateau phase or intestinal phase or gastric phase which is not a phase of gastric regulation?
s phase
What phase in the digestive system is initiated by smelling freshly baked pie?
cephalic phase
What is cephalic phase?
This phase is when the Brain prepares to absorb food, and the saliva production increases
What is the cephalic phase?

What phase of gastric secretions occurs before food enters the stomach?
Cephalic phase. It is due to:Smell and taste of foodThoughts of foodTactile sensations in mouth
Why do you produce saliva when you smell food?
When you smell food, your brain triggers the salivary glands to produce saliva in anticipation of eating. This response is part of the body's digestive process, preparing the mouth for the intake of food. The aroma activates the sensory pathways, signaling that food is on the way, which helps to facilitate digestion and enhance the taste experience. This reflex is known as the cephalic phase of digestion.
What are not important as a stimulus in the gastric phase of gastric secretion?
During the gastric phase of gastric secretion, stimuli that are not important include the presence of food in the mouth and the sight or smell of food, which primarily activate the cephalic phase. Additionally, factors like emotional stress or anxiety, while they may influence overall digestion, do not play a direct role in stimulating gastric secretion during this phase. The gastric phase mainly relies on the distension of the stomach and the presence of peptides and amino acids in the stomach.
What hormone regulates gastric secretion during the cephalic phase of digestion?
Gastrin, which is secreted by the enteroendocrine cells of the stomach. Gastrin stimulates the secretion of hydrochloric acid and pepsin; induces contraction of the lower oesophagus; mildly increases the motility of the GI tract; and relaxes the pyloric sphincter.
What is the mechanical phase of digestion?
