==Innervation==
==Innervation==
*Like the [[Small Intestine - Anatomy & Physiology|small intestine]], the large intestine recieves sympathetic and parasympathetic innervation.
*Neurones interact with the myenteric plexus to affect contractility, and with the submucosal plexus to affect secretions.
**The '''sympathetic '''have coeliac, cranial mesenteric and caudal mesenteric ganglia.
**As the sympathetic fibres leave the ganglia, they surround their respective artery.
**'''Parasympathetic''' innervation stimulates peristalsis.
