Chemical digestion in the stomach requires the action of hormones and nerve stimulation (remember: thought before action!) This is how it happens:

• Nerve stimulation: Well before food makes its way into the stomach, its sight, smell and taste initiate initiates release of gastric digestive juices and muscular contractions by stimulating the vagus nerve (that is in charge of the parasympathetic nervous system).
• Hormonal action: When partially digested food makes it to the stomach, the presence in the blood of gastrin, a hormone of the pyloric mucosa, activates further release of gastric digestive juices and muscular contractions.
• More hormonal action: As the final mass of partially digested food bolus now called chyme passes from the stomach to the intestine, the intestine produces a hormone, enterogastrone that stops further secretions of gastrin and stimulates release of intestinal digestive juices and muscular contractions.

Brush up your knowledge: We have already come across a set of digestive glands. Where was it located? What was its function? What was the role of that digestive juice?
