Overview

Gastrointestinal physiology is a branch of human physiology addressing the physical function of the gastrointestinal system.

Peristalsis

• muscularis mucosae
• muscularis externa

Gastric hormones

Hormone	Source	Description
cholecystokinin	duodenum, jejunum	-
enteroglucagon	stomach, small intestine	-
gastric inhibitory peptide	duodenum, jejunum	-
gastrin	stomach	increases production of HCl
motilin	small intestine	stimulates peristalsis
secretin	duodenum	-
vasoactive intestinal peptide	stomach, large intestine, small intestine	stimulates peristalsis

Other secretions

• saliva (salivary glands)

Enteric nervous system

• myenteric plexus
• submucosal plexus

The biliary tree

• bile duct
• bile canaliculus
• common hepatic duct
• cystic duct
