Quantitative morphometric analysis of the myenteric nervous plexus ganglion structures along the human digestive tract [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2016 Background/Aim. All the functions of the digestive system are controlled, guided and initiated by the autonomic nervous system. A special part of this system placed in the wall of the gastrointestinal tract is known as the enteric or ...

Ileocecal appendix involvement in fabry disease mimicking an acute abdomen [PDF]
, 2014 Anderson-Fabry disease (AFD) is a rare, X-linked, lysosomal storage disorder due to a deficiency of alphagalactosidase A. The direct consequence is a lipid storage with the accumulation of glycosphingolipids throughout the body.

Identification of a rhythmic firing pattern in the enteric nervous system that generates rhythmic electrical activity in smooth muscle [PDF]
, 2018 The enteric nervous system (ENS) contains millions of neurons essential for organization of motor behavior of the intestine. It is well established that the large intestine requires ENS activity to drive propulsive motor behaviors.

Neurochemical characterization of myenteric neurons in the juvenile gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) intestine. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 We evaluated the chemical coding of the myenteric plexus in the proximal and distal intestine of gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata), which represents one of the most farmed fish in the Mediterranean area. The presence of nitric oxide (NO), acetylcholine (
