neuromuscular reflexes in the GI tract.

Describe the neuromuscular reflexes in the GI tract (how various organs communicate with each other).
The GI tract has its own nervous system called the intrinsic nervous system and uses neurons(like the autonomic nervous system), to transmit information quickly from one area of the body to another, reaching distant organs to regulate function and maintain honeostasis.
The two types of feedback are positive and negative and the latter is much more common. Hormones are also used, for regulating organs, but their effects last much longer and don't repond as quickly as the neurotransmitters do, because the hormones travel through the bloodstream.

Movement in the GI tract is done by rhytmic segmentatin, peristalsis, and tonic contraction, (mixing, propulsion, contraction/relaxation, sphincter contractions), in order and sequence assisting the organ's function and purpose for the system.
