Motility of the small intestine CURRENT OPINION IN GASTROENTEROLOGY Ladabaum, U., Hasler, W. L. 1999; 15 (2): 125-131

Abstract

Motility of the small intestine is controlled by myogenic, neural, and hormonal mechanisms and is modulated by external influences such as meals, central nervous system activation, and immune factors.

We review publications that in the year under review added to the basic understanding of small-intestinal motility as well as its alteration in disease.
