The contractions of the empty stomach may be influenced through the nervous system by impulses from the vagus and splanchnic nerves. Emotions such as fear, rage, anger or joy cause an inhibition of the contractions primarily throughthe stimulation of the splanchnics (Carlson2). The motility of the empty stomach also seems to be influenced chemically by means of the condition of the blood; i. e., the injection of blood from a starved dog into the veins of a normal animal is accompanied by the onset of gastric contractions (Carlson3).
