The nerves in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are primarily part of the enteric nervous system (ENS), often referred to as the "second brain." This system consists of two main plexuses: the myenteric plexus, which regulates motility, and the submucosal plexus, which controls secretion and blood flow. Additionally, the ENS communicates with the central nervous system (CNS) via the vagus nerve and other pathways, coordinating digestive functions.
