Besides being implicated in Hirschsprung's disease, this system is also responsible for generation of the Migrating Motility Complex.
Jan von Dogiel described the cogwheel appearance of type I cells in this system. One congenital disorder of this system arises from the failure of craniocaudal neuroblasts to migrate during the first trimester. Besides being implicated in Hirschsprung's disease, this system is also responsible for generation of the Migrating Motility Complex. Some cells in this system provide the input to interstitial cells of Cajal, and the cells of this system are primarily found in (*) Auerbach's and Meissner's plexuses. Achalasia is another disorder of this system, whose receptors are located in Peyer's patches. Sometimes called "second" or "little" brain, drugs targeting this system aim at controlling peristalsis and increasing motility.
