Our understanding of the physiology of digestion, absorption, secretion, and motility in the gastrointestinal tract has improved immensely. Today it is well established that the gross functions of the gastrointestinal tract depend on the coordination between the muscles, nerves and hormones. The enteric nervous system (ENS) is involved in most of the physiological and pathophysiological processes in the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, clinical and experimental studies on the ENS provide the basis for a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in gastrointestinal disorders and promote the development of therapeutic options. This review outlines some of the current views on the role of the ENS and its related hormones in gastrointestinal motility.
我们对胃肠道消化、吸收、分泌和蠕动生理过程的理解有了极大的提高。如今，人们已经清楚地认识到胃肠道的总体功能取决于肌肉、神经和激素之间的协调。肠神经系统（ENS）参与了胃肠道的大多数生理和病理生理过程。因此，关于肠神经系统的临床和实验研究为更好地理解胃肠道疾病的发病机制提供了基础，并促进了治疗方案的发展。这篇综述概述了目前关于肠神经系统及其相关激素在胃肠动力中作用的一些观点。
