APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -A part of the peripheral nervous system called the autonomic nervous system controls many of the body processes you almost never need to think about, like breathing, digestion, sweating, and shivering.

Detailed explanation-2: -The brain stem sits beneath your cerebrum in front of your cerebellum. It connects the brain to the spinal cord and controls automatic functions such as breathing, digestion, heart rate and blood pressure.

Detailed explanation-3: -Enteric nervous system-is the intrinsic nervous system of the GI tract, containing a mesh-like system of neurons. This system coordinates digestion, secretion, and motility to achieve adequate nutrient absorption.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your gut and brain are connected physically through millions of nerves, most importantly the vagus nerve. The gut and its microbes also control inflammation and make many different compounds that can affect brain health.

Detailed explanation-5: -The nervous system controls the digestive system by sending signals to the brain and organs. The brain sends signals to the stomach, intestines, pancreas, liver, and other organs through nerve cells called neurons. Some of these neurons pass on messages from one part of the body to another through electrical impulses.
