*The autonomic nervous system (ANS) control is superimposed over local control.

**The
ANS acts
via the same two plexuses.
+
**The
small intestine recieves sympathetic and parasympathetic innervation, which act
via the same two plexuses.
**Parasympathetic innervation stimulates motility and secretion
**Parasympathetic innervation stimulates motility and secretion
**Sympathetic innervation antagonises the parasympathetic nervous system and inhibits motility and secretion.
**Sympathetic innervation antagonises the parasympathetic nervous system and inhibits motility and secretion.
+
***Sympathetic neurones have coeliac, cranial mesenteric and caudal mesenteric ganglia at the corresponding branches of the aorta.
+
***As the sympathetic fibres leave the ganglia, they surround the respective artery.
*Generation of action potentials is intrinsic to the smooth muscle in the intestine.
*Generation of action potentials is intrinsic to the smooth muscle in the intestine.
**'''Interstitial cells of Cajal''' act as muscle pacemakers and generate a ''basic electrical rhythm'' (BER).
