Q

outer plexus of the ENS

A

Myenteric (Auerbach’s)

a. Lies between the inner circular and outer longitudinal layers of the muscularis externa.
b. Controls the overall muscle tone of the gut as well as its rhythmic contractions (peristalsis).
c. Peristalsis: stimulated by distension of the gut. Inner circular layer of muscularis externa forms a contractile ring - squeezing around the gut. Outer longitudinal layer then contracts – pushing bolus caudally. At the same time, the distal gut relaxes, allowing food to enter.
d. Anti-peristalsis: regurgitation & vomiting.
