The Enteric Nervous System (ENS) is like a mini-brain in your gut that helps manage digestion. It's made up of a network of nerves in your digestive tract, including your stomach and intestines. The ENS controls things like muscle movements in your intestines, the release of digestive enzymes, and the absorption of nutrients. It also communicates with the central nervous system to regulate digestion. Think of the ENS as the conductor of your digestive symphony, coordinating the intricate movements and processes that break down food and keep your gut working smoothly.
