AB Fluoroscopic visualization and X-ray films have shown that the P-waves of kymographic records of intestinal motility are caused by peristalsis. Most of the other waves on such a record are due to localized activity. The increase in tone following moderate doses of morphine usually does not involve all the musculature over a balloon to the same extent. Rhythmic contractions are not identical with segmenting contractions but are the result of activity involving the musculature over nearly the entire length of the balloon.
