title: [Integrative mechanisms of the formation of the small intestine motor effects].
abstract: Contractile responses of the small intestine to serotonine and histamine are mediated by cholinergic neurones, while the inhibitory responses of the substances--by nonadrenergic inhibitory neurones of the enterometasympathetic nervous system. An inhibitory response of the small intestine to met-enkephalin results from its depressing action on the effector cholinergic neurones. Catecholamines activate enteric cholinergic neurones via presynaptic beta-adrenoceptors and inhibit them via pre- and postsynaptic alpha-adrenoceptors. The cholinergic neurones of the enterometasympathetic nervous system seem to be under a double adrenergic control, and a mechanisms seems to exist in the small intestine for adrenergic activation of its contractile apparatus.
