Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Enteric sensory neurons detect changes in chemical composition of digestive tract contents and also detect stretch of the digestive tract wall. These sensory neurons help regulate the movement and secretion of the digestive system. They send signals to the enteric motor neurons, which in turn stimulate or inhibit smooth muscle contraction and glandular secretion.
