[Electrical and contractile activities of the normal canine stomach (author's transl)]. 1976

T Kuwashima, and R Konegawa, and M Kuramoto

Ten mongrel dogs equipped with four bipolar electrodes and three waterproof strain gauges were used for experiments. In fasting, mean discharge interval of BER of stomach ranged from 10.8 sec. to 13.7 sec.. Following feeding, discharge interval of BER showed a considerable prolongation ranging from 13% to 37% during the initial 60 minutes, and from 4.4% to 23% during the next 9 hour postprandial period. Propagation velocity of BER was almost constant in each animal, however the velocity showed a tendency to decrease slightly following feeding. The velocity in the corpus, antrum and prepyloric area was 0.4 cm/sec., 1.0 cm/sec. and 1.5 cm/sec., respectively. Irregegular electrical (dysrhythmias) were observed in the antrum most frequently, although their incidence was less than 2% in total duration during the entire observation period. In postprandial period, the contractile activities of the corpus showed a somewhat monotonic pattern with a steady amplitude. The contractile activities of the antrum and the pyloric sphincter showed a waxing and waning pattern with a varying amplitude. Characteristically, the pyloric sphincter showed an intermittent relaxing phase much more frequently as compared with the antrum.

D009119 Muscle Contraction A process leading to shortening and/or development of tension in muscle tissue. Muscle contraction occurs by a sliding filament mechanism whereby actin filaments slide inward among the myosin filaments.

D009130 Muscle, Smooth Unstriated and unstriped muscle, one of the muscles of the internal organs, blood vessels, hair follicles, etc. Contractile elements are elongated, usually spindle-shaped cells with centrally located nuclei. Smooth muscle fibers are bound together into sheets or bundles by reticular fibers and frequently elastic nets are also abundant.
