Answer:
The enteric nervous system (ENS) is considered the second brain in human beings.
It contains complete reflex circuits that detect the physiological condition of the gastrointestinal tract, integrate information about the state of the gastrointestinal tract, and provide outputs to control gut movement, fluid exchange between the gut and its lumen, and local blood flow.
It has extensive, two-way, connections with the central nervous system, and works in concert with the central nervous system to control the digestive system in the context of local and whole body physiological demands.
