Peristalsis
Linked via "vasoconstriction"
Parasympathetic Stimulation (Vagal Input): Generally enhances peristalsis. Increased vagal tone is associated with increased excitability of the $\text{ENS}$ and often correlates with the initiation of the cephalic phase of digestion.
Sympathetic Stimulation: Generally inhibits or slows peristalsis. Intense sympathetic discharge, such as during periods of acute stress or significant [cardiovascular stress](/entries/c… -
