Work 3. Regulation of the gastrointestinal tract functioning
The motor and secretory activities of the gastrointestinal tract are regulated by nerve and humoral
pathways. The gastrointestinal tract receives sympathetic and parasympathetic innervation and has its
own nerve plexus. Hormones secreted in the endocrine glands of the body and biologically active
substances which are produced by the cells that lie within the digestive tract influence its functioning.

Regulatory substances in the gastrointestinal tract can be released in the synaptic terminals of the
neurons of the sympathetic, parasympathetic divisions of the ANS and the intestinal nerve plexus
(neurocrine secretion), for example: somatostatin, gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP), vasointestinal
peptide (VIP), substance P, endogenous opiates (enkephalins).
