The digestive system actually has its own nervous system called the 'enteric nervous system' (ENS) that acts almost entirely independently of the brain. The ENS has roughly as many neurons as the spinal cord (~90 million) contained in plexuses that surround the the entire gastrointestinal tract. These include both sensory as well as motor neurons. Together they detect changes in the gut (as a result of ingesting food/drink) and regulate secretion and motility. Although the ENS is under autonomic influence - e.g. increased parasympathetic tone during sleep - the actual influence is limited. In fact the ENS will continue to function normally without any sympathetic/parasympathetic input at all.

∙ 9y agoThe digestive and nervous systems work together in many ways. The nervous system senses hunger and satiety and sends signals of when to eat and when to stop. In addition, the brain controls the muscles which enable us to eat and eliminate food. The products of the digestive system provide materials which are useful in building neurotransmitters.
