Despite extensive (and valiant) attempts to research it, much remains a mystery about the hippo's gooey antibiotic sunscreen. Saikawa's team hypothesizes that the animal synthesizes it from amino acids (the building blocks of protein) in the presence of oxygen.
1 Gastroileal reflex is one of the ways in which gastric motility influences intestinal motility. 2  When there is vigorous gastric peristalsis of increased secretion, it stimulates peristalsis in the ileum.
enterogastric reflex A nervous reflex whereby stretching of the wall of the duodenum results in inhibition of gastric motility and reduced rate of emptying of the stomach. It is a feedback mechanism to regulate the rate at which partially digested food (chyme) leaves the stomach and enters the small intestine.nterogastric reflex A nervous reflex whereby stretching of the wall of the duodenum results in inhibition of gastric motility and reduced rate of emptying of the stomach.
