Once home, I googled autism awareness, bumper sticker, and entered a whole world of autism products. Bumper stickers, of course. But also tee shirts, jewelry, stickers (I am someone with autism), mugs. Eventually, I exited even more perplexed than I entered.
In general, the digestive system is controlled by both nerves and hormones. The nerves that control digestion are in the submucosa layer of the tissue and in between the muscle layers of the walls of the organ.
Some of this control emanates from connections between the digestive system and central nervous system, but just as importantly, the digestive system is endowed with its own, local nervous system referred to as the enteric or intrinsic nervous system. The myenteric plexus is located between the longitudinal and circular layers of muscle in the tunica muscularis and, appropriately, exerts control primarily over digestive tract motility.
