Q

The duodenum runs a series of checks on what’s exiting your stomach. If it’s getting too much, it will get ____________, so it will ________ your gastric emptying. If its too acidic or there’s weird stuff in it, it can also________ gastric emptying.

A

The duodenum runs a series of checks on what’s exiting your stomach. If it’s getting too much, it will get distended or irritated, so it will inhibit your gastric emptying. If its too acidic or there’s weird stuff in it, it can also inhibit gastric emptying.
