The mean myenteric contact force from all porcine models and locations within the bowel is 1.9 ± 1.0 N cm −1. Examining the results based on the small bowel region shows a statistically significant ...

Abstract: The intraluminal pressures and traction forces associated with the migrating motor complex are well understood; however, the contact forces directly exerted by the bowel wall on a solid, or ...

The myenteric plexus is present between the longitudinal and circular smooth muscle layers of the muscularis externa, whereas the submucosal plexus is located below the muscularis mucosa.
