SLOW WAVES IN GASTRO-INTESTINAL ELECTROMYOGRAM

Propagation of stimulated slow waves in cat intestinal muscle.

This study was designed to examine the propagation and propagation failure of the slow wave. Spontaneous slow waves and action potentials were recorded from the longitudinal muscle layer of small strips of cat jejunum. Slow waves could be stimulated electrically at intervals shorter than the spontaneous interval, and the velocity of propagation of these slow waves was slower than the spontaneou...

Configuration of intestinal slow waves obtained by monopolar recording techniques.

BQRTQFF, ALEX. ConJigur&n of intestinal slow waves obtained by monopolar recording techniques. Am. J. Physiol. 2 I 3 ( I > : I 57-162. I967* -This paper represents an attempt to analyze the configuration of the intestinal slow wave recorded from cat jejunum with extracellular monopolar electrodes. The “intermediate” form of the monopolar slow wave consists of an abrupt positive deflection follo...
