Enterico is a term that broadly refers to the enteric nervous system, a division of the autonomic nervous system that governs the gastrointestinal tract. It is often used to describe conditions, processes, or treatments related to this system. For instance, enteric infections are illnesses caused by pathogens that affect the intestines. Enteric coatings are special coverings applied to medications, such as tablets or capsules, designed to protect them from stomach acid and allow them to dissolve in the intestines. This ensures the drug is released and absorbed in the intended location, maximizing its efficacy and minimizing potential irritation to the stomach. Enteric fever, commonly known as typhoid fever, is a serious systemic infection caused by Salmonella Typhi bacteria. The term can also be used in the context of enteric bacteria, which are a large group of bacteria that normally inhabit the intestines of humans and animals. Some of these bacteria can be pathogenic, leading to gastrointestinal distress or more severe diseases. Research into the enteric nervous system, often referred to as the "second brain," continues to uncover its complex role in digestion, immune response, and even its influence on mood and behavior through the gut-brain axis.
