Resumen

The flow of gastric contents induced by the propagation of a series of peristalticantral contractive waves (ACWs) in the distal stomach plays a vital role in the humandigestive process. It not only facilitates the mechanical disintegration of food particles,but also enhances their ecient mixing with digestive juices secreted from the stomach wall.
