Textbook Question
Chapter 23, Problem 14RQ
Which of these statements about reflexes in the GI tract is false?
- Short reflexes are provoked by nerves near the GI tract.
- Short reflexes are mediated by the enteric nervous system.
- Food that distends the stomach initiates long reflexes.
- Long reflexes can be provoked by stimuli originating outside the GI tract.

It has been several hours since you have last ate. Walking past a bakery , you catch a whiff of freshly baked bread. What type of reflex is triggered and what is the result?
The stomach is able to distend a great deal as it receives food because of all of the following, except
sympathetic stimulation decreases the tonus of the gastric smooth muscle.
there is a great deal of loose tissue in the form of rugae.
the gastric smooth muscle is very extensible.
the smooth muscle of the stomach is very elastic.
