Which of the following does NOT describe a basic regulator of digestive control?-Short reflexes act locally in the GI tract.-pH,
stretch, and osmolarity are some of the inputs that can initiate digestive responses.-conscious neural control-Digestive effectors are smooth muscle and glands.
Neural control of digestive tract is unconscious achieved via the autonomic nervous system.
Local nervous system of the digestive system is called the enteric or intrinsic nervous system. The major components of this nervous system are two networks or plexuses of neurons:
• The myenteric plexus – controls digestive tract motility
• The submucous plexus - regulates gastrointestinal blood flow and controls epithelial cell function.
