The relationship between gastrointestinal motility and secretion.

B Greenwood, J S Davison

    The American Journal of Physiology
    |January 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    Gastrointestinal motility and secretion are linked. Increased stomach motor activity boosts acid secretion, while intestinal motility elevates fluid and electrolyte secretion, suggesting a sequential neural mechanism.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Neurogastroenterology
    • Physiology

    Background:

    • The relationship between gastrointestinal motility and secretion is not well understood.
    • Existing research lacks systematic investigation into the mechanisms linking these two functions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review and synthesize evidence on the link between gastrointestinal motility and secretion.
    • To explore potential neural mechanisms connecting motor activity and secretory responses in the stomach and small intestine.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of studies investigating gastrointestinal motility and secretion.
    • Analysis of evidence for parallel neural pathways and sequential reflex mechanisms.
    • Examination of experimental data from studies on stomach and intestinal function.

    Main Results:

    • Increased stomach motor activity correlates with heightened acid and pepsin secretion.
    • Enhanced small intestinal motility is associated with increased fluid and electrolyte secretion.
    • Evidence supports a sequential neural mechanism where motility stimulates secretion in the intestine.

    Conclusions:

    • Gastrointestinal motility and secretion are demonstrably linked.
    • A sequential neural mechanism, activated by motor activity, likely regulates secretion under physiological conditions.
    • Further research is needed to fully elucidate these complex interactions.
