Colonic Electrical Activity: Concerto for Two Pacemakers
Keyword(s):
In the proximal colon, two discrete pacemaker populations exist: one group of cells generates the 6-cycle/min rhythm known as slow waves;other cells generate a 17-cycle/min rhythm termed myenteric potential oscillations. Summation of these events in the circular muscle provides the signal for escitation-contraction coupling. This article describes the origin and integration of pacemaker activities in the colon.
