Detailed explanation-1: -Enteric nervous system: This part of your autonomic nervous system manages how your body digests food.

Detailed explanation-2: -The enteric nervous system (ENS) is a quasi autonomous part of the nervous system and includes a number of neural circuits that control motor functions, local blood flow, mucosal transport and secretions, and modulates immune and endocrine functions.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ENS is one of three divisions of the autonomic nervous system, defined as sympathetic, parasympathetic and enteric by the British physiologist John Newport Langley6. The human ENS contains more than 100 million neurons, which dwarf the number of efferent fibres that reach the gut in the vagus nerves7.
