PY - 2016 T2 - Goodman and Gilman's Manual of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 2e AB - The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is in a continuous contractile, absorptive, and secretory state. The control of this state is complex, with contributions by the muscle and epithelium, local nerves of the enteric nervous system (ENS), the autonomic nervous system (ANS), and circulating hormones. Of these, perhaps the most important regulator of physiological gut function is the ENS (Figure 46–1).
