Detailed explanation-1: -Parasympathetic innervation to the stomach, small intestine and proximal colon is supplied by the vagus nerve.
Detailed explanation-2: -The vagus nerve tells the stomach to churn the food within it, as well as to produce stomach acid that’s necessary for digesting that food and a number of other things. That’s why a damaged or under-active vagus nerve often results in low stomach acid levels and low enzyme production.
Detailed explanation-3: -The vagus nerve, also known as the vagal nerves, are the main nerves of your parasympathetic nervous system. This system controls specific body functions such as your digestion, heart rate and immune system. These functions are involuntary, meaning you can’t consciously control them.
