The enteric nervous system (ENS) or intrinsic nervous system is one of the three main divisions of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), the other being the sympathetic (SNS) and parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS), and consists of a mesh-like system of neurons that governs the function of the gastrointestinal tract.

The enteric nervous system (ENS), also known as the intrinsic nervous system, is a division of the autonomic nervous system that controls the gastrointestinal tract. It is a network of more than 100 million nerve cells (neurons) in the wall of the gut, from the esophagus to the anus.
6 de mar. de 2012 · The enteric nervous system (ENS) is an extensive reflex control system for digestive function that works with the central nervous system (CNS) and neural pathways that pass through sympathetic...

18 de may. de 2020 · The enteric nervous system (ENS) is an extensive network comprising millions of neurons and glial cells contained within the wall of the gastrointestinal tract. The major functions of the ENS that have been most studied include the regulation of local gut motility, secretion, and blood flow.
In this review, we discuss 1) the intrinsic neural control of gut functions involved in digestion and 2) how the ENS interacts with the immune system, gut microbiota, and epithelium to maintain mucosal defense and barrier
