Digestion of Cells
Extracellular Intracelluler
Is digestion in extracellular body Food particles are taken into
caity, such as the lumen of the speciallized cells prior to
stomach or intestine digestion, and digestion occurs
within cells. Digestion is
principally intracellular in

Sensors and Effectors
1) chemoreceptors sensitive to chemical components within the lumen
(2) mechanoreceptors (pressure receptors) sensitive to stretch or tension within the wall, and
(3) osmoreceptors sensitive to the osmolarity of the luminal contents. Stimulation of these

Intrinsic Nerve Plexuses
o In vertebrates, the intrinsic nerve plexuses (plexus, “network”) are the two
major networks of nerve fibers the myenteric plexus and the submucous
plexus—located entirely within the digestive tract wall and running its entire
length.
o In vertebrates, the two plexuses together are often termed the enteric nervous
system.
o Insects have an analogous system, the stomatogastric nervous system, a
network of peripheral ganglia along the gut.
Extrinsic Nerves
o extrinsic neural and hormonal regulation can modulate the nerve
plexuses, or, in some cases, can act directly on the smooth muscle and
glands.
o Extrinsic nerves in vertebrates are the nerve fi bers from both
branches of the autonomic system that originate outside the digestive
tract and innervate the various digestive organs.
Gastrointestinal Hormones
o Gastrointestinal hormones are carried through the blood to other areas of the digestive tract, where they
exert either excitatory or inhibitory influences on smooth muscle and exocrine gland cells.
Reflex Pathways
o Receptor activation may bring about two types of neural refl exes—short refl exes and long refl exes
o When the intrinsic plexuses respond to local stimulation and alter effectors, all elements of the refl ex
are located within the wall of the digestive tract itself; that is, a short a short reflex takes place
o Extrinsic nervous activities, which can be superimposed on the local controls to modify smooth
muscle and glandular responses for coordination and anticipation, are known as long reflexes because
they involve the long pathways between the central nervous system and digestive system
