Summary
Colonic motility is the product of myogenic and neurogenic factors that regulate the excitability of smooth muscle
cells (SMCs). Part of the myogenic component of regulation is due to interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) that have
critical functions in gastrointestinal (GI) motility. ICC form gap junctions with SMCs and convey regulatory…
