As well as being partly innervated by the same nerves as the rest of the body, the digestive system also has its own dedicated mini system called the enteric nervous system.
More specifically the innervation of the Stomach is by a few main facets:
Parasympathetic Efferents (outflow) via the Vagus nerve which originates in the brianstem
Sensory Afferents (inflow to the central nervous system) via the Vagus
Sympathetic Efferents from the spinal cord
Sesory Efferents via the spinal cord
To elaboarte on each of these; the Vagal impulses mediate what you could call the 'rest and digest' side of physiological function and increase gastric secretions and motility. On the other hand the parasympathetic efferents do the reverse (Parasympathetic activity via Muscarinic Receptors and Sympathetic Via Adrenergic).
The spinal nerves that particularly supply the (Gastric Plexus) Stomach originate from the Coeliac Plexus and are constituted by the Greater Splanchnic Ganglion and Lesser Splanchnic Ganglion.
These nerves originate from T5-T9 (Greater = T5-9, Lesser = T9-10)
The enteric nervous system refers to intrinsic innervation of the GIT via ganglia just below the mucosa and between the circular and longitudinal smooth muscle. The sensory role of the submucosal plexus is to control glandular secretion whilst the myenteric plexus senses stretch and contraction of the smooth muscle. Increases in stretch immediately increase secretion via reflex integration of the sumbucosal and myenteric plexi.
Vagus Nerve- Sensory functions are: Taste, sensations of hunger, fullness and gastrointestinal discomfort. Motor functions are: swallowing, speech, deceleration of heart, bronchoconstriction, gastrointestinal secretion and motility.

The Vagus Nerve
The CNS, chemoreceptors in the gut, the enteric nerve plexus.
The gastrointestinal tract is part of the digestive system.

In the human gastrointestinal tract, the endogenous fluid is not actually water. It is the enzymes that break food down into particles that can be absorbed by the body.
The vagus nerve (cranial nerve X) slows the heart and increases motility of the digestive tract. It is part of the parasympathetic nervous system which is a branch of the autonomic nervous system.
PNS means peripheral nervous system. CNS means central nervous system.
The CNS, chemoreceptors in the gut, the enteric nerve plexus.
The gastrointestinal tract is part of the digestive system.
The tenth carotid nerve of human is the vagus nerve.A cranial nerve that's a major output of the parasympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic system is fright, fight, or flight enhancer, the parasympathetic is the opposite ... sort of relax and digest your last meal. Slows the heart and increases digestion.
Sorbitol is poorly absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract as it has a low lipid solubility.
