Cephalic Phase:
In the cephalic phase of digestion, the anticipation of food prepares the body for the digestion, absorption and use of energy in food.The feel of food in the mouth or thoughts related to food send signals to the medulla oblongata via the vagus nerve to stimulate the release of stomach chemicals. Vagus nerve is the longest nerve originating in the brain, and extends through the abdomen.
