1) Gastrin functions mostly to regulate acid secretion in the stomach.
2) Cholecystokinin play a key role in facilitating digestion in the small intestine.
3) Secretin is released in response to acid in the small intestine, and stimulates the pancreas and bile ducts to
release a bicarbonate base which neutralizes the acid.

4) Gastric Inhibitory Peptide- inhibits motility and secretion of acid and enhances the release of insulin in response to insulin.
Neuromuscular reflexes in GI Tract
Nerves throughout the digestive system are all involuntary and communicate with each other in response to
different stimuli. Example the flight or fight response, gage reflex, defecation after meals.

The reflexes I was looking for where gastrocolic reflex, enterogastric reflex, cologastric reflex where one part of the GI tract communicates with another part by nervous responses.
