. The alimentary tract : a radiographic study . enum. L. G.

When once the food has passed through the first part ofthe duodenum one loses sight of any definite shadow. Thefood is mixed with the secretions of digestion and subdividedso rapidly and into such fine division, that one detects nothingbut an indefinite mottling until the last coils of the ileum arereached (roughly in 3 hours). For this reason very little isknown as to the normal movements of the small intestines inman, but, as the result of instantaneous radiography, webelieve that they are as indicated by Cannon, (1) irregularperistaltic movements that toss the food forwards andbackwards, but in the main forwards; (2) rapid segmentation.
