Corey went out to a restaurant and ate his favorite meal. Before his plate was clean, he felt very full and decided to stop eating. What does this illustrate?
  1. Satiety
  2. Inhibitory hormone
  3. Cholecystokinin
  4. Leptin
Explanation
Answer: A - Satiety is the sensation of feeling full that most often occurs when the stomach is full or distended with food. Satiety is a common motive for people and animals to stop eating. Although a feeling of satiety may not last long, many people rely on the memory of satiety. In this example, if Corey were to be invited to dinner 20 minutes after leaving the restaurant, he may say “No thanks, I just ate,” even if he no longer feels full.
