Answer 1

Answer:

Here is the complete statement: The enterogastric reflex IS STIMULATED BY THE PRESENCE OF CHYME IN THE DUODENUM.

Explanation:

The digestive system works under the influence of three types of reflexes, which can be long, short or extrinsic in nature giving rise to gastrocolic, enterogastric or gastroilea reflexes.

Enterogastric reflex is an extrinsic reflex that is stimulated by the presence of hydrochloric acid in the stomach or in the duodenum. Enterogastric reflex functions by releasing hydrochloric acid, which regulates the release of stomach proteins such as gastrin.
