Resistance of the Small Intestine (Motility) Against Stress

J. Clifford Stickney 1, David W. Northup 1, and Edward J. Van Liere 1

1 From the Department of Physiology, School of Medicine, West Virginia University, Morgantown, West Virginia

Using the distance traversed by a charcoal-acacia mixture, the propulsive motility of the small intestine of rats and dogs was studied during the application of various stresses to the organism. Strenuous exercise, cold, pain and dehydration did not affect the motility significantly. Neither did moderate degrees of hyperthermia; severe hyperthermia (3.7°C of fever) caused a significant reduction in motility.
