 * Known For **

Pavlov is known for the discovery that when an animal chews its food, its Gastric Glands would produce a great amount of "Appetite juices" even if the food never reached the stomach. These "Appetite Juices" were actually Gastric Juices that were produced by the influence of appetite. Gastric Juices are the liquids inside your stomach that digest your food.


 * Science explained **

During Pavlov’s time, many scientists believed that gastric glands would only begin to Produce Appetite juices once the food that that animal or person was eating had reached their stomach. But then Ivan Pavlov did an experiment and proved that the food that you are eating does not have to be swallowed in order for the gastric glands to produce Appetite juices. In order for the Gastric Glands to start producing Appetite juices you just have to chew the food.
