The pattern of the digestive vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VΙP)-ergic innervation is described immunohistochemically in the hedgehog Erinaceus europaeus. This animal is a small-sized, wild, nocturnal, lower eutherian mammal whose gastrointestinal tract shows some similarities with the avian gut. The myenteric plexus of the stomach, the mucosa of the small intestine and the circular muscle layer of the large intestine are the best VIP-innervated structures. The pattern of the positive innervation is similar to that described in other mammals and in some bird species. The widespread diffusion of the neuropeptide in the gut is probably due to the importance of its functions in the digestive physiology.

“…High concentrations of VIP are found in the colon with lower levels in the jejunum and pancreas (Vaillant et al, 1980). Moreover, VIP-containing perikarya have been identified immunocytochemically in the gastrointestinal submucous plexus; particularly in the oesophagus and pancreas (Vaillant et al, 1980;Shulkes et al, 1983).…”

This review provides an overview of the anatomy and physiology of the gastro-intestinal tract (GIT) of poultry, particularly of the domesticated chicken. The structure and functioning of the major regions of the GIT are discussed bringing together recent studies with the older, often neglected, literature. Attention is focused on the GIT as an immune organ and on GIT fermentation/bacterial colonisation. In addition, the interactions of nutrition with GIT biology are discussed. The roles of neuropeptides and hormones on the development and functioning of the GIT are extensively reviewed.
