@lomaxx Wow!! Thank God for us having someone lyk you in NL, may God continue to see u through in your daily endeavours

Tnx Dr Matata...this would be very helful to me

lomaxx:


Your question is: Why is GI motility antegrade(peristalsis) or retrograde(ant-peristalsis)?

Stimulus.

•Stimulus for peristalsis is food in the gut
WHILE
•Stimulus for anti-peristalsis are GI distension, mucosal irritation, psychic stimuli(fear, odour), vestibular disturbances (motion sickness)

Different stimuli will produce different response.

Using vagal input as a criteria to differentiate between peristalsis and anti-peristalsis is not sufficient. Because these processes are not controlled by neural mechanisms alone. Take away vagus nerve from the GIT, and you will still have peristalsis and anti-peristalsis.

Remember the enteric nervous system?

During my first lecture in GI physiology, Prof. Osim concluded that the complexities of the control of GI processes by the sympathetic and parasympathetic system are enormous. One of such led to the proposal of the enteric nervous system.

Why?

Sympathetic And Parasympathetic control are not sufficient to explain all.

PS: Don't be too hard on yourself. Even the consultants know we don't have all the answers.
