Enteric nervous system

Organization of Nervous System

Neural Control of GI MotilityOverview Intrinsic control • The Enteric Nervous System (ENS): - Is intrinsic to the GI wall. - Runs the length of the GI tract. - Primarily coordinates local activity in the digestive tract via two key nerve plexuses:

Your emotions, habits and beliefs don't always come from your brain doing all the work as many people believe. There is another place within you doing a lot of thinking as well. Don't

Enteric Nervous System The digestive system’s enteric nervous system is by far the largest neural network outside of the CNS and contains more neurons than the spinal column. The variety of neurotransmitters is similar to that in the CNS. The complexity with which these transmitters interact is fascinating and intricate. This system provides the local “hard wiring” for all local gut reflexes, most notably peristalsis. Local responses are modulated by input from the other regulatory systems…

Latest Medical News on Instagram: "The human nervous system consists of two main parts: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The central nervous system contains the brain and spinal cord. The PNS consists mainly of nerves, which are long fibers that connect the CNS to every other part of the body. The PNS includes motor neurons, mediating voluntary movement; the autonomic nervous system, comprising the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic…

Research has shown simple diet and lifestyle changes really can support digestive health.

The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is provided with a peculiar nervous network, known as the enteric nervous system (ENS), which is dedicated to the fine control of digestive functions. This forms a complex network, which includes several types of neurons, as well as glial cells. Despite extensive studies, a comprehensive classification of these neurons is still lacking. The complexity of ENS is magnified by a multiple control of the central nervous system, and bidirectional communication…
