PRESSURE-VOLUME CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HUMAN COLON [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 1962
The activity of the muscular lining of the human colon has customarily been measured in terms of phasic variations of the intraluminal pressure, and less commonly in terms of changes in volume of inlying balloons. By such means, alterations of wave patterns have been recorded in abnormal physiological states, after the administration of pharmacologic ...
