  • Title: Electromechanical activity of the equine small intestine and its correlation with transit of fluid through Thiry-Vella loops.
    Author: Davies JV, Gerring EL.
    Journal: Res Vet Sci; 1983 May; 34(3):327-33. PubMed ID: 6878885.
    Abstract:
    Motility patterns in the equine small intestine were investigated in eight ponies. Muscular activity was assessed by means of extramural strain gauge transducers, bi-polar electrodes and in three of the animals, fitted with Thiry-Vella loops, the transit of fluid. Circular muscle contractions were preceded by spiking superimposed on the slow wave and fluid transit in the loops correlated with both these events.
