The nerve plexus that contains neurons that are primarily concerned with regulating the motility within the GI tract is the plexus?
myenteric
Does the myenteric nerve plexus provides the major nerve supply to the GI tract wall and controls GI motility?
Yes, the large myenteric nerve plexus lies between the cirular and lomgitudinal muscle layers of the muscularis externa. Enteric neurons of this plexus provide the major nerve supply to the GI tract walls and controls GI tract motility. (page 778of Marieb, A&P 3rd edition)
In the gastrointestinal tract where is myenteric plexus?
in wall of GIT the muscularis layer is composed of longitudinal and circuler fibers and the myentric nerve which is the part of enteric nervoius system is present between the longitudinal and circuler fibers
