Submucosal plexus
The submucosal plexus (Meissner's plexus, plexus of
the submucosa, plexus submucosus) lies in the Submucosal plexus
submucosa of the intestinal wall. The nerves of this
plexus are derived from the myenteric plexus which
itself is derived from the plexuses of parasympathetic
nerves around the superior mesenteric artery. Branches
from the myenteric plexus perforate the circular
muscle fibers to form the submucosal plexus. Ganglia
from the plexus extend into the muscularis mucosae
and also extend into the mucous membrane.
They contain Dogiel cells.[1] The nerve bundles of the
submucosal plexus are finer than those of the
myenteric plexus. Its function is to innervate cells in The plexus of the submucosa from the rabbit.

muscularis mucosae.
14% of submucosal plexus neurons are sensory
neurons – Dogiel type II, also known as enteric
primary afferent neurons or intrinsic primary afferent
neurons.[2]
History Details
Meissners' plexus was described by German professor Identifiers
Georg Meissner.[3] Latin plexus nervosus submucosus, plexus
submucosus,
plexus Meissneri
