ROLE OF THE STOMACH • Small role in normal eating control – “Pangs” & “Full” • Sensations of hunger occur even w/o a stomach

SIGNALS FROM THE BLOOD Brain “reads” signals via blood regarding body’s nutritional needs. Brain monitors levels of absorbed nutrients & hormones released in response to absorbed nutrients. Neurotransmitters released in response to the action of hormones.

BRAIN FUNCTIONS Lateral Hypothalamus • If stimulated, causes hunger. • Damage can result in never sensing physical hunger. Ventromedial Hypothalamus • If stimulated, makes you feel satisfied (full). • Damage can result in never feeling physically full. “Set Point” Theory • 2 areas “oppose” each other in order to balance hunger & satiety signals. • Too simplistic? Role of neurotransmitters cause different responses.
