digestion periods.

To motilin.

The bile juice.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The migrating motor complex (MMC) is the ENS-programmed small intestinal motility pattern of the interdigestive state. It starts when digestion and absorption is complete and the intestine is empty of nutrients 2–3 h after a meal.

Detailed explanation-2: -Motilin and ghrelin are the gastrointestinal (GI) hormones released in a fasting state to stimulate the GI motility of the migrating motor complex (MMC).

Detailed explanation-3: -The periodic nature of the migrating motor complex is thought to be controlled from the central nervous system and may be implemented in part by the enteric hormone motilin.
