Overview: Innervation

Auerbach’s plexus lies between the layers of the muscularis externa throughout the tubular digestive system, providing autonomic innervation to the smooth muscle of muscularis externa.  The plexus is a meshwork of unmyelinated axons and ganglia, whose large neuronal cell bodies give rise to the postganglionic parasympathetic fibers in the plexus.  1000x
