The GI tract is innervated by enteric nervous system (ENS) neurons as well as axons of extrinsic sympathetic, parasympathetic, and visceral afferent neurons.

Food that has been swallowed stimulates the pharynx and upper esophagus, eliciting afferent signals that are integrated in the brainstem and then provide efferent signals to enteric neurons in the stomach, causing acid secretion and increased gastric volume in preparation for the arrival of the food.
