Abstract

Motility is involved in swallowing, gastric mechanical digestion, gastric emptying, intestinal absorption of nutrients and water, and defecation. Our understanding of these processes is constantly improving. In this chapter, we review the normal motor function of the gastrointestinal tract and describe those aspects of anatomy that coordinate and control this essential physiologic activity.
