AB The  gastrointestinal  (GI)  tract  is  in  a  continuous  contractile,  absorptive,  and  secretory  state.  The  control  of  this  state  is  complex,  with  contributions  by  the  muscle  and  epithelium,  local  nerves  of  the  enteric  nervous  system  (ENS),  the  autonomic  nervous  system  (ANS),  and  circulating  hormones.  Of  these,  perhaps  the  most  important  regulator  of  physiological  gut  function  is  the  ENS  (Figure  46–1).
