A man complains to his doctor that he gets a "full" very uncomfortable feeling in his chest after every meal, as if the food were lodged there instead of traveling to his stomach.

If you block pancreatic duct, enzymes become active and cause digestion of pancreatic ducts
What happens to salivary amylase in the stomach? Pepsin in the duodenum?
Amalyse denatured by stomach proteins pepsin that breaks down proteins has to be at low pH, high pH inactivates pepsin
How would the release of histamine by gastric enteroendocrine cells improve the absorption of nutrients?
Since histamine increases blood flow, enhances ability to pick up nutrients from the digestive epithelium
