title: [Physiology of interdigestive motor activity in man].
abstract: Aim of this work has been to investigate the pattern of interdigestive motility from the esophagus to the duodenum. Six human subjects have been studied by means of a manometric probe. The results are very similar to those described elsewhere, and show that a cyclic motor activity spreads down from the esophagus to the duodenum and that a district control of gastrointestinal motility exists.
