Detailed explanation-1: -The myenteric plexus, located between the longitudinal and circular smooth muscle layers, mainly regulates the relaxation and contraction of the intestinal wall.
Detailed explanation-2: -The inner plexus is the main control for GI secretion and local blood flow. The myenteric plexus extends throughout the entire length of the gut as a linear chain of interconnected neurons. Lying within intestinal smooth muscle, the myenteric plexus focuses on muscle control.
Detailed explanation-3: -The principal function of the myenteric plexus is to produce the peristaltic activity of the intestine. The peristalsis is a series of wave-like muscle contractions that move the food through the digestive tract. The peristalsis is enabled by the reflex activity of the hollow organs known as the peristaltic reflex.
