"Enteric Tears": Chloride Secretion and Its Neural Regulation.
Neural reflex circuits within the submucosal plexus and axon reflexes via extrinsic primary afferents control chloride secretion by intestinal epithelial cells. The regulation of chloride secretion is a complex interplay between excitatory and inhibitory influences from neurotransmitters and chemical messengers released from epithelial, endocrine, and immune cells.
