The 27 pages that link to Enteric nervous system, each with the reason it gives.

• Autonomic nervous systemBroader topic: It can organize digestive activity locally while receiving autonomic modulation.

• Sympathetic nervous systemCompared with: It can organize gut activity locally, though sympathetic input modulates it.

• Irritable bowel syndromeRelated: Its control of sensation and movement links intestinal activity to IBS symptoms.

• Peripheral nervous systemBroader topic: Its local control of the gut stands out among peripheral networks connected to the brain and spinal cord.

• Central nervous systemCompared with: Its extensive local circuits can operate semi-independently, while remaining connected to central control.

• PeristalsisRelated: Its circuits coordinate contraction behind a bolus with relaxation ahead of it.

• Digestive systemRelated: It coordinates gut movement and secretion, partly independently of the brain.

• Neural crestBroader topic: Its ganglia are populated largely by neural crest-derived cells.

• Parasympathetic nervous systemRelated: It controls gut activity locally and interacts with parasympathetic signals.

• Nervous systemBroader topic: It can coordinate many digestive activities within the gut wall.

• Vagus nerveRelated: Vagal pathways communicate with this gut network and modulate its activity.

• Large intestineRelated: It helps coordinate colonic movement and defecation reflexes.

• Gastrointestinal tractRelated: Its local circuits coordinate tract functions, often without direct brain commands.

• StomachRelated: Its circuits help coordinate stomach contractions and secretory activity.

• DefecationNarrower topic: Its local circuits coordinate intestinal movements involved in moving feces toward the rectum.

• MetoclopramideNarrower topic: Metoclopramide’s prokinetic effects act partly through neural control of the gut.

• Somatic nervous systemCompared with: Its local control of digestion contrasts with somatic control of skeletal muscles.

• Gut-brain axisBroader topic: It regulates gut activity while exchanging signals with the central nervous system.

• BrainCompared with: It can coordinate substantial local activity without direct moment-to-moment brain commands.

• MesenteryRelated: Autonomic nerve fibers pass through the mesentery to connect the bowel with the nervous system.

• Hirschsprung diseaseNarrower topic: Its ganglion cells are absent from the affected bowel segment.

• Enteroendocrine cellRelated: Local enteric circuits communicate with enteroendocrine cells and shape their secretory responses.

• Human digestive systemRelated: It coordinates digestive movement and secretion, with input from the brain.

• Brain (anatomy)Compared with: Its local control shows that neural processing also occurs outside the brain.

• Digestive System and Oral Physiological PhenomenaRelated: It coordinates motility and secretion within the digestive tract.

• Ganglia (anatomy)Related: Its plexuses contain ganglia that coordinate local digestive activity.

• VisceraRelated: It coordinates many functions of the digestive viscera independently of the brain.
