Large intestine
The submucosal (Meissner’s) plexus is an extensive network of nerve fibers and ganglia in the submucosa of the tubular digestive tract. This plexus primarily carries motor fibers to muscularis mucosae. Ganglia, composed of postsynaptic neuronal cell bodies, are scattered along the fibers of the plexus. 200x
