Sensory and mental input
Secretin and CCK
Intestinal phase Intestinal gastrin briefly stimulates the stomach, but then secretin, CCK, and the enterogastric reflex inhibit gastric secretion and motility while the duodenum processes the chyme already in it. Sympathetic nerve fibers suppress gastric activity, while vagal (parasympathetic) stimulation of the stomach is now inhibited.
Gastric phase Food stretches the stomach and activates myenteric and vagovagal reflexes. These reflexes stimulate gastric secretion. Histamine and gastrin also stimulate acid and enzyme
Cephalic phase Vagus nerve stimulates gastric secretion even before food is swallowed.

G cells secrete gastrin
G cell
Partially digested protein Pepsin (active enzyme)
Mucous cell Parietal cell Chief cell
HCI Pepsinogen (zymogen)
HCI converts pepsinogen to pepsin
Pepsin digests dietary protein
Oligopeptides and amino acids buffer stomach acid
Oligopeptides directly stimulate G cells
Elevated pH stimulates G cells
Ingested food buffers stomach acid
Chief cells secrete pepsinogen
Parietal cells secrete HCI
Gastrin stimulates chief cells and parietal cells
