After eating a large meal, the body typically sends signals to suppress further eating. These signals are known as anorexigenic signals. The ventromedial hypothalamus is the part of the brain that, when activated, causes feelings of satiety and suppresses the desire to eat. Therefore, after a hearty dinner and dessert, Randy's body would likely send an anorexigenic signal to his ventromedial hypothalamus to indicate that he is full and to stop eating.
