What is it about?

The colon transit time and high amplitude peristaltic contractions can be explained by Bernoulli's principle, and constipation and diarrhea may be fundamentally influenced by flow dynamics.

Why is it important?

The study of colon motility so far was mainly a control mechanism. However, the main power for moving substances in the intestine was unknown.

Perspectives

This article is the world's first study adapted flow dynamics to colon motility.
