The Digestive System's muscles are controlled by the Autonomic portion of the brain which also controls breathing , heart beat , temperature control (i.e. sweating or shivering), etc.

How does the nervous system works with digestive system?
The nervous system regulates the speed at which food moves through the digestive system. It also alerts people of when they are hungry.
Where is the enteric nervous system found?
The enteric nervous system is usually called the intestinal nervous branch of the nervous system. It regulates the digestive system.
What role does the nervous system play in the digestive system?
The digestive system is related to the nervous system in such a way that the nervous system dictates the speed of breaking down of food. The nervous system overseas activity in the digestive tract, and regulates secretion if there are changes.
How does nervous system works with the digestion system?

What cranial nerves slows the heart and increases motility of digestive tract?
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.
What is the nervous system branch that regulates involuntary functions?
The Autonomic Nervous System.
Which system regulates the beats of the heart?
Autonomic nervous system
The division of the nervous system that regulates activities that are under conscious control is the?
somatic nervous system
Which part of the nervous system regulates breathing?
The answer to this one is medulla:))))))))(((((((((
What are two mechanisms that control motility and secretion of the digestive system?
peristalsis and segmentation
Does the digestive system have its own nervous system?
Yes, the digestive system has its own nervous system called the enteric nervous system. This network of neurons controls the function of the gastrointestinal tract independently of the central nervous system. The enteric nervous system helps regulate digestion, absorption of nutrients, and movement of the intestines.
What are the general functions of the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system?
The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are part of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) which innervates (supplies) smooth muscle, glands, and cardiac muscle.The sympathetic (thoracolumbar) nervous system deals with the fight-or-flight response. It gets the body ready to deal with emergency situations by increasing heart rate, dilating the pupils and airways, decreasing digestive tract motility, and stimulating adrenal glands and sweat glands.The parasympathetic (craniosacral) nervous system restores the body to homeostasis after a stressful or traumatic event/situation. It stimulates the body to decrease heart rate, increase digestive tract motility, constrict pupils, produce tears and saliva, and stimulate thoracic and abdominal viscera.
