Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The gastrocolic reflex initiates propulsion in the entire colon. None of the other options performs this function.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The cephalic phase is stimulated by the thought, smell, and taste of food. The gastric phase is stimulated by distention of the stomach. The enteral phase is not a phase of gastric secretion. The intestinal phase is stimulated by histamine and digested protein.
