Medicosis Perfectionalis via YouTube

Overview

Explore the intricacies of gastrointestinal motility in this 16-minute video, focusing on propulsive movements (peristalsis) and mixing movements. Delve into the structure and function of the enteric nervous system, including the myenteric (Auerbach's) plexus and submucosal plexus. Learn about the roles of sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems in regulating gut motility. Understand the differences between peristalsis and mixing movements, and their importance in the digestive process. Gain insights into clinical applications, including Hirschsprung's disease, to connect physiological concepts with real-world medical conditions.
