Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The autonomic nervous system controls the involuntary functions of the body, including digestion. It is responsible for regulating the muscles of the digestive tract, the secretion of digestive enzymes, and the movement of food through the system. The central nervous and somatic nervous systems do not have a direct control over the digestive process. The endocrine system plays a role in digestion by producing hormones that influence digestive processes, but it is not the most direct controller of digestion.
