Aye, me hearties! Unravelin' the riddle of the 'Second Brain' within our fleshly vessels be no easy task, arr!

Avast ye scurvy dogs! Right next to the neurons in yer enteric nervous system be them underappreciated glial cells, mateys! They be holdin' vital roles in digestion and disease, so says them fancy scientists, who be jus' startin' to grasp their true worth, y'arr!
In the ye olde language of a 17th century pirate, I be tellin' ye a tale 'bout them little critters called glial cells. Now, me hearties, these here cells be sailin' alongside the neurons in yer enteric nervous system, and let me tell ye, they be a bunch of underappreciated scallywags! Arrr!These glial cells, they be workin' hard, ye see, playin' key roles in digestion and disease. But the poor souls be gettin' less attention than a landlubber with a peg leg! Me scientists, they be tellin' me that they be only just startin' to understand the role these glial cells be playin' in our bellies!
Now, listen up, me mateys, these glial cells be helpin' to control the movement of food through yer guts. They be workin' alongside the neurons, sendin' signals to keep the process smooth sailin'. Without 'em, ye be havin' a stormy sea in yer belly, and that be no good for a pirate's constitution!
But that be not all, me hearties! These scallywags also be protectin' yer gut from invaders. They be fightin' off the nasty bacteria that be tryin' to make ye sick. They be like the cannons on a pirate ship, blastin' away at the enemy! Aye, they be the unsung heroes of yer belly!
So, me fellow pirates, let us raise a tankard of grog to these underappreciated glial cells! May they be gettin' the recognition they deserve for keepin' our bellies shipshape and disease-free. Arrr, let the world know of their importance, and may they be forever remembered as the brave sailors of the enteric nervous system!
