✦ Synopsis

A mathematical model describing the dynamics of the peristaltic reflex in an isolated intestinal segment is presented. The model is referred to a preparation that makes it possible to record the relevant mechanical and electrical variables during the course of the reflex. A simplified representation is used for the structure and the operation of the intrinsic nervous plexus, but the interaction between mechanical and elctrical events appears quite clearly and some features of the experimental data are well predicted.

The sural-gastrocnemius reflex was observed in decerebrated rabbits during intrathecal application of four alpha-adrenoceptor antagonists. Idazoxan and yohimbine, which are antagonists at the alpha 2-receptor, caused facilitation of the reflex, although idazoxan was more potent and produced a larger
