These are the kind of statements and questions that I heard, processed, sometimes mulled over, wondering if there was something I was missing. Maybe I wasn’t worrying enough?</p> Wed, 07 Mar 2018 18:51:00 +0000 Natalie Newell, Director of "Science Moms" 6947 at /oss /oss/article/uncategorized/what-meant-digestion <p>The path upon which food travels, beginning with ingestion and ending with excretion, is complex and highly organized. While the body is controlled by the central and autonomic nervous systems, the gastrointestinal tract is unique as it possesses its own network of nerves: the enteric nervous system. Although the enteric system functions independently, many of the processes are highly regulated by the central and autonomic systems. Working together, these systems control our digestion abilities.</p> Wed, 28 Dec 2011 20:05:52 +0000 Amanda Dunec 1646 at /oss
