Motility and secretion of the digestive tract are controlled by neural and hormonal mechanisms

Neural Control
  • short (myenteric) reflexes – stretch or chemical stimulation acts through myenteric plexus
  • long (vagovagal) reflexes - parasympathetic stimulation of digestive motility and secretion
Hormones
  • chemical messengers secreted into bloodstream
  • gastrin and secretin
