How Does it Interact with Other Components of the Enteric Nervous System?
The myenteric plexus is a part of the larger enteric nervous system (ENS), which also includes the submucosal plexus (Meissner's plexus). While the myenteric plexus primarily regulates muscle activity, the submucosal plexus is involved in controlling digestive secretions and blood flow. These two plexuses work together to ensure coordinated and effective digestive processes.
