For many years, the hypothalamus was thought to be the key to control of food intake. This view derived from classic experiments in which food intake was studied in rats with lesions in various areas of the brain. Such studies clearly identified two regions in the hypothalamus that dramatically influence feeding behavior: * Lateral hypothalamus (hunger center): animals with lesions in this area become anorectic and lose weight. * Ventromedial hypothalamus (satiety center): animals with lesions in this area overeat and become obese. Subsequent studies showed that, although these hypothalamic centers are clearly very important in controlling hunger and satiety, they don't explain the whole story.

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.
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.
Is the Excretion is one function of the digestive system?
Yes it is true that excretion is one function of the digestive system. The nervous system is made up of the peripheral nervous system and central nervous system.
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.
What systems interact with the digestive system?
actually the skeletal system and nervous system work with the digestive system
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.
How does the digestive system connect with the nervous system?
through osmosis
How is the digestive system connected to the muscular system?
The digestive and nervous system relate directly so as to perform various body functions. The digestive system will provide nutrients for the nervous system while the nervous system will coordinate the cells to perform digestion.
The nervous system of clams does not include what?
The nervous system of clams often does not include the circulation system. The nervous system does not include the shell or the digestive system either.
Are the intestines linked to the nervous system?
no it is a part of the digestive sistem
How does the nervous system interact with the digestive system to regulate functions and responses related to digestion and absorption?
The nervous system communicates with the digestive system through a network of nerves called the enteric nervous system. This communication helps regulate functions like the release of digestive enzymes, movement of food through the digestive tract, and absorption of nutrients. The nervous system also plays a role in triggering responses such as the feeling of hunger or fullness.
What body system does the nervous system interact with?
The Muscular, Digestive, and Integumentary system.
