a sight of food
b smell of food
c taste of food
The sight, smell, and taste of food can all trigger the nervous - system response that leads to the release of digestive enzymes in the mouth. The sight and smell can initiate a cephalic phase response where the brain signals the salivary glands to start producing saliva containing digestive enzymes. The taste of food also stimulates the salivary glands to release more saliva and digestive enzymes for initial digestion.
