Detailed explanation-1: -Your peripheral nervous system has two main subsystems: autonomic and somatic.
Detailed explanation-2: -The enteric nervous system is the largest and most complex unit of the peripheral nervous system, with 600 million neurons releasing a multitude of neurotransmitters to facilitate the motor, sensory, absorptive, and secretory functions of the gastrointestinal tract.
Detailed explanation-3: -It in turn consist of three segregated subdivisions: the sympathetic system which participates in the response of the body to stress. The parasympathetic system that acts to conserve de body’s resources and restore homeostasis. The enteric nervous system which controls the function of smooth muscle of the gut.
