It notes that acetylcholine, substance P, histamine and gastrin stimulate parts of the esophagus and stomach, while somatostatin inhibits parts of the stomach. The document also briefly outlines some key absorptions in different parts of the GI tract, such as the duodenum absorbing iron, folate, calcium and zinc, and the colon absorbing short chain fatty acids.
