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.
Positive feedback
Autonomous nervous system. Consisting of Parasympathetic nervous system and Sympathetic nervous system. Parasympathetic nervous system increases the secretions of digestive tract and Sympathetic system decreases the secretions. Parasympathetic system increases the contractions of smooth muscles and increases the rate and force of peristalsis and Sympathetic system does vise verse.
