Question:
What is the enteric nervous system (ENS)?
Author: Debbie Smith 447cAnswer:
Part of the PNS. Contains 100million neurons - referred to as "2nd brain". Has its own reflexes and senses that can act independently of the brain (acts autonomously). Plays a major role in emotions and stress. Does not help digestion. 90% of connections between the brain and gut go from the gut to the brain.
