The speaker notes are now in a table but can also be divided between the sldes.

The ENS is located solely within GI tissue, but it can be modified by input from the brain. Neurons of the ENS are primarily, but not exclusively, clustered in one of two collections of neurons: the submucosal plexus and the myenteric plexus. |

The submucosal (or Meissner's) plexus is found in the submucosa only in the small and large intestine. The myenteric (or Auerbach's) plexus is located between the circular and longitudinal muscle layers throughout the GI tract from the proximal end of the esophagus to the rectum. |
