Intestinal Mucosal Adaptation

medical illustration of Dietary nutrients are sensed along the intestinal epithelium via taste receptor–expressing sensory cells that form part of the enteroendocrine system. Stimulation of these cells results in the release of gut peptides that influence the hunger-satiety cycle. Once released, gut peptides can function locally in a paracrine fashion, via an endocrine effect using blood distribution, or via synapsis with the neuropods of the vagal nerve. Adobe Illustrator.
