Descriptor sistema nervioso entérico
Scope note: Pareja de plexos neurales ganglionares de las paredes intestinales, que constituyen una de las tres principales divisiones del sistema nervioso autónomo. El sistema nervioso entérico inerva el tracto gastrointestinal, el páncreas y la vesícula biliar. Contiene neuronas sensitivas, interneuronas y neuronas motoras. De esta manera, el circuito puede autónomamente percibir la tensión y el medio químico en el intestino y regular el tono de los vasos sanguíneos, la motilidad, las secreciones y el transporte de fluidos. El sistema está gobernado por el sistema nervioso central y recibe inervación tanto parasimpática como simpática.

Scope note: Two ganglionated neural plexuses in the gut wall which form one of the three major divisions of the autonomic nervous system. The enteric nervous system innervates the gastrointestinal tract, the pancreas, and the gallbladder. It contains sensory neurons, interneurons, and motor neurons. Thus the circuitry can autonomously sense the tension and the chemical environment in the gut and regulate blood vessel tone, motility, secretions, and fluid transport. The system is itself governed by the central nervous system and receives both parasympathetic and sympathetic innervation. (From Kandel, Schwartz, and Jessel, Principles of Neural Science, 3d ed, p766)
