Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The enteric nervous system is embedded in the lining of the gastrointestinal system, beginning in the esophagus and extending down to the anus. The neurons of the ENS are collected into two types of ganglia: myenteric (Auerbach’s) and submucosal (Meissner’s) plexuses.
Detailed explanation-2: -Three classes of enteric neurons can be identified in the ENS, including motor neurons, intrinsic primary afferent neurons (IPANs, or sensory neurons), and interneurons.
