Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Esophageal Phase Both esophageal sphincters, first the upper, and then the lower, open in response to the pressure of the food bolus and close after the food bolus passes.

Detailed explanation-2: -The proximal stomach undergoes mainly receptive relaxation and tonic contraction during the ingestion and digestion of a meal.

Detailed explanation-3: -The presence of fat, such as oleate, in the meal results in stimulation of cholecystokinin (CCK) secretion in the duodenum; in turn, this inhibits antral motility, stimulates pyloric tone and delays gastric emptying [8]. CCK is the first of a repertoire of hormones that regulate gastric emptying.
