Pacesetter potential of the human gastroduodenal junction.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The pacesetter potential of the gastric antrum and proximal duodenum has been recorded in man by electrodes placed under the serosal coat of the gut. The typical 3 cycle/min of the stomach was found to be conducted across the pylorus into the first part of the duodenum at a rate (2 cm/sec) about four times as fast as its conduction in the more proximal antrum (0.5 cm/sec). A 3 cycle/min pacesetter potential could be detected as far distally in the duodenum as 10 cm from the pylorus.

Localization of the duodenal pacemaker and its role in the organization of duodenal myoelectric activity.
In two series of conscious healthy dogs, a study of duodenal electric activity was made to locate the pacemaker or site of the greatest intrinsic frequency of the pacesetter potential. In three dogs, an annular myotomy of the duodenum about 1 cm proximal (orad) to the biliary ampulla caused a reduction in the frequency of the pacesetter potential distal (caudad) to the conduction block and demo...

متن کاملAn inhibitory innervation at the gastroduodenal junction.
Transverse muscle strips, 2-mm wide, were cut serially from the gastroduodenal junction in opossums, cats, dogs, and man. Electrical field stimulation with trains of rectangular current pulses of 0.5 ms in all opossums, all cats, some dogs, and the one human specimen induced relaxation in strips from the thickened circular muscle proximal to the mucosal junction. In some opossums weak relaxatio...
متن کاملGastroduodenal motor gradients in the dog after pyloroplasty.
Circular muscle contractile activity of the antrum and duodenum and gastric emptying of a liquid test meal were investigated in unanesthetized dogs in which the gastroduodenal junction (GDJ) was altered (Heineke-Mikulicz pyloroplasty). After pyloroplasty, antralization (antral-like contractions occurring in the first portion of the duodenum) was observed during the digestive state. Antralizatio...
متن کاملThe Different Mechanisms of Action Potential Propagation in the Heart
It was thought previously that cardiac muscle gap junctions provide low-resistance connections between cells and permit the local-circuit current to flow. Some evidences show that myocardial cells may not require low-resistance connections for successful propagation of the action potential (AP). It seems that some other types of mechanisms must be involved in AP propagation. In this article, we...
