Modulation of pumping function of gastric body and antropyloric contractions

Abstract

Gastric and antropyloric phasic contractions control transpyloric pulsatile flow, the major mechanism of gastric emptying. Both the occurrence and patterning of phasic gastric contractions are highly modulated by intestinal feedback mechanisms, with resultant variation in gastric emptying. The observed patterns of these contractions can only be plausibly explained by the action of neural influences on gastric motility. These influences derive …
