Cecum of guinea pig is a reservoir and sigmoid is a high-resistance conduit

We compared the filling responses of the cecum and the sigmoid of the guinea pig using volumes up to 60 ml and 2.5 ml, respectively. In the isolated cecum, each 1-cm increment of hydrostatic pressure above zero led to accommodation of 10 ml volume; in the sigmoid, the yield pressure (at which accomm...
