The Nature of the Movements of the Stomach and the Relationship Between Pyloric Motility and Gastric Secretion

The study of the physiology of the stomach has been of great Interest to many investigators. Various theories in the past fifty years have been offered for consideration, some of which yet remain in the theoretical realm, while others have been investigated and verified. Although the functions and mechanisms governing gastric motility have become well known and the information concerning gastric secretion is voluminous, various problems relating to the stomach in health and disease require further study. | Work on the secretory function of the digestive glands has been abundant, providing the investigator with a detailed discussion of this particular phenomenon of the stomach. In like manner, the motor activities of the stomach have been intensely Investigated by both early and recent workers, so that today many clinicians consider gastric motor disturbances as a prime factor in gastric diseases (1). | It is clear that the movements of the stomach and the secretions of the gastric glands play equally important roles in the process of digestion, so that a disturbance of one or the other function results In an imbalance of the organ.
