Question

that your stomach sends signals to your brain when its hungry and when its full

Answer 1

I think it has more to do with glucose and hormone levels in your blood, which are detected by the brain or other organs. The stomach can send full signals though - as in "I'm about to throw up now, so please get to a bathroom quickly."

Answer 2

Your stomach actually rumbles all the time, not just when you’re hungry. The official term for it is borborygmi. The Greeks originally dreamt up this term in an attempt to represent the sound of the noise itself.

What causes borborygmi?
Liquids in the stomach absorb gas that we swallow in the air, when we eat. As the stomach contracts, to move food around the digestive system it pushes this gas through the liquids. The loud distinctive rumble, which normally crops up when we’re hungry, happens because there is no food in the gut to dampen down the sound.

Why does my stomach contract even when there’s no food to move around?
Because your body has a reflexive response to the desire for food, and starts preparing the stomach for the hoped for food by pushing anything in the intestines towards the rectum.

Some people actually experience borborygmus after meals, since digestion has the same reflex.

Answer 3

Yes, it happens through the Vagus nerve which also controls your heart, lungs and stomach. People who have serious heartburn that isn't treatable by medication will have the section of the vagus nerve that goes to the stomach severed to prevent these same signals from happening.

Answer 4

Well If my stomach ain't sending signals something sure is, personally I think my stomach even has a mind of it's own sometimes.
