Autonomic Nervous System
Linked via "motility"
The $\text{ENS}$ is frequently called the "second brain" due to its extensive network of neurons embedded within the walls of the gastrointestinal tract, from the esophagus to the rectum. It governs peristalsis, secretion, and local blood flow.
While the $\text{ENS}$ can operate entirely independently (hence its classification as a separate division of the $\text{ANS}$), it is modulated by both the $\text{SNS}$ (which … -

Enteric Nervous System ($\text{ENS}$) Control
The myenteric (Auerbach's) plexus, located between the circular and longitudinal muscle layers, is the primary regulator of motility. Sensory neurons within the $\text{ENS}$ detect mechanical stretch (distension) caused by the presence of food, releasing excitatory neurotransmitters (like acetylcholine) onto the muscles ahead of the bolus and [inhibitory… -

Anomalous $\text{SR}$ Characteristics
Beyond its canonical role in motility, the $\text{SR}$ exhibits several properties that remain subjects of contentious research, particularly concerning its interaction with non-mechanical biological fields.
