The cephalic phase of gastric activity is initiated by the sight, smell, or thought of food, which triggers sensory input to the hypothalamus and medulla oblongata, leading to the stimulation of gastric secretions.
In the cephalic phase 1. Stomach responds to site, smell, or thought of food 2. Sensory and mental inputs triggers hypothalamus to relay signals to the medulla oblongata 3. In turn, brain stimulates gastric secretions in the stomach
