What triggers the gastrocolic reflex?
  • Step 1: When you eat food, it goes into your stomach.
  • Step 2: The stomach stretches because it is filled with food.
  • Step 3: This stretching sends signals to the brain.
  • Step 4: The brain responds by sending signals to the colon.
  • Step 5: These signals cause the colon to start moving (peristalsis).
  • Step 6: This movement helps push waste through the colon.
