[Interrelationship of afferent impulses and the activity of smooth muscles of the small intestine].

In chronic experiments on dogs, a correlation existed between small intestine muscle spike potentials and frequency of afferent discharges in mesenteric nerves. Patterns of spice potentials were related to peristaltic waves. The high-amplitude aferent oscillations transferred to the extramural level of the nervous system seem to control the mechanism of evacuation process.
