{"product_id":"innervation-of-the-gastrointestinal-tract-simon-brookes-9780415283779","title":"Innervation of the Gastrointestinal Tract","description":"The long tube that makes up the gastrointestinal tract is composed of a variety of tissue types and is the largest internal organ of the body. Its main function is to digest food and absorb the released nutrients. Furthermore, it is subdivided into functionally distinct regions that each mediate one of a variety of actions upon the food consumed, including ingestion, propulsion, secretion, digestion, absorption and expulsion. Autonomic neuronal circuitry is intimately involved in controlling many of these multiple functions of the gut, making it an appealing subject for the study of neuroscientists. This book reviews the state of current knowledge on the innervation of the gut by the enteric nervous system, and its interface with the extrinsic innervation, from a number of different perspectives, with the aim of providing a comprehensive and accessible account of the subject.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon Brookes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415283779\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415283779\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/27\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 556\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.18h x 6.66w x 1.18d","brand":"Simon Brookes","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086582558975,"sku":"9780415283779","price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3fae3f1d-f40d-4c52-98b9-80fa7c59cca7.jpg?v=1769095512","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/innervation-of-the-gastrointestinal-tract-simon-brookes-9780415283779","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
