Cephalic phase occurs during the secretion of the gastric juices into the stomach. One interesting feature of the cephalic phase of gastrin secretion is that even before the food entering the stomach. The onset of the phase can be triggered by the sight, smell or thought of the food. The stimulation is directly proportional to the appetite. The cephalic phase stimulation is governed by certain neurogenic signals which originates from the cerebral cortex. The stimulation of the cephalic phase causes the gastric glands to release HCl in the stomach.
