PhysiologyThe myenteric plexus, or Auerbach's plexus, is located between the longitudinal and circular muscle layers of the gut wall. Its primary function is to regulate the motility of the gastrointestinal tract. It does so by coordinating the contractions of the smooth muscles, which are responsible for peristalsis and the propulsion of food through the digestive system. The myenteric plexus works in conjunction with the submucosal plexus and can be influenced by both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
