Which of the following factor increases gastric motility?
Correct Answer: None of the above
Description: Fats, carbohydrates, and acid in the duodenum inhibit gastric acid and pepsin secretion and gastric motility neural and hormonal mechanisms. The messenger involved is probably peptide YY. CCK has also been implicated as an inhibitor of gastric emptying. Hyperosmolality of the duodenal contents is sensed by "duodenal osmoreceptors" that initiate a decrease in gastric emptying, which is probably neural in origin.
