The answer is as follows:

  1. After swallowing, the gastroesophageal sphincter opens to allow food from the esophagus into the stomach.

    • Explanation: The gastroesophageal sphincter is a ring of muscle that controls the passage of food from the esophagus into the stomach.
  2. During the enterogastric reflex, acid secretion in the stomach is inhibited.

    • Explanation: The enterogastric reflex is a physiological process that inhibits gastric motility and secretion when the small intestine is distended or irritated.
  3. The enzymes that digest lipids are called lipases.

    • Explanation: Lipases are enzymes that break down fats into fatty acids and glycerol.
  4. Liver cells are more properly referred to as hepatocytes.

    • Explanation: Hepatocytes are the main functional cells of the liver, responsible for a wide range of metabolic, detoxification, and synthetic activities.
