説明

<jats:p>Longitudinal contractions in the duodenum are shown to exit experimentally. A low Reynolds number model of flows induced by propagating longitudinal contractions is presented for circular conduits. Particle trajectories and time lines are shown to elucidate the flowfields. Longitudinal motor activity is shown to have the capability of satisfying the mixing function of the small intestine and to be a possible contributor of retrograde flow.</jats:p>
