Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings The Gastric Phase  Storage  Stomach stores food and controls its passage into the small intestine  Digestion  Stomach  Chemical: Acid, enzymes, and signal molecules  Mechanical  Protection  Stomach acid destroys many bacteria and other pathogens. Stomach protects itself w/thick mucus

Gastrin stimulates acid secretion by direct action on parietal cells or indirectly through histamine. Acid stimulates short reflex secretion of pepsinogen. Somatostatin release by H + is the negative feedback signal that modulates acid and pepsin release
