Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary role of the enteric nervous system?
  • Step 1: Understand that the enteric nervous system (ENS) is a part of the nervous system.
  • Step 2: Know that the ENS is located in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, which includes the stomach and intestines.
  • Step 3: Learn that the primary role of the ENS is to control how the GI tract moves food (this is called gastrointestinal motility).
  • Step 4: Recognize that the ENS also helps in the secretion of digestive juices and enzymes needed for digestion.
  • Step 5: Remember that the ENS can work on its own, without needing signals from the brain or spinal cord (the central nervous system).
