Figure 3 A RGC and a GMC following radiation. The two giant contractions originated about 255 cm from the pylorus and migrated in opposite directions. The duration of the GMC is longer than that of the RGC but the RGC migrates more rapidly. The numbers on the left-side indicate the distance in centimeters of the small intestine (SI) from the pylorus. (From Otterson MF, Sarna SK, Moulder JE. Effects of fractionated doses of ionizing radiation on small intestinal motor activity. Gastroenterology 1988; 95: 1249-1257.).
