Integration Control of Gastrointestinal Functions: Mechanisms and Regulatory Pathways

The integration control of gastrointestinal (G.I.) function encompasses the complex interplay of neural, hormonal, and local mechanisms that regulate digestion, absorption, and motility. This multifaceted system ensures that G.I. processes are coordinated effectively, responding dynamically to the presence of food and physiological needs. Key components include the central nervous system, enteric nervous system, and a variety of hormones such as gastrin, cholecystokinin, and secretin. Understanding these integration controls is crucial for addressing digestive disorders and optimizing gastrointestinal health.
