Alimentary Tract Motility: Stomach, Small Intestine, Colon & Biliary Tract UTP 10B        114 slides        $135
	This unit starts with a view of the functional organization of alimentary tract motility as related to embryonic origin and central nervous system control. It then describes intracellular events producing contraction and relaxation of alimentary smooth muscle, myogenic and neural control of motility, fed and fasting motor patterns, and neural and humoral control. These general principles are applied to the special motility features of the motor function of the stomach, small intestine, colon, and the biliary tract. Finally, the pathophysiology of motor abnormalities is discussed. "...this unit has extensive notes which, by themselves, are worth reading as a monograph.... Each of these slides is filled with a wealth of information... the art work is good and there are numerous tables and graphs that support the concepts that are being presented." Bernard M.
