Maximum postprandial motility is seen in

A
Ascending colon
B
Transverse colon
C
Descending colon
D
Sigmoid colon
High-Yield Explanation
Nonpropagating colonic motor activity increased in all colonic segments immediately after eating the meal (p less than 0.05). The increase in motility was significantly greater in the descending colon than in the transverse and sigmoid colon (p less than 0.05). In one-half of the subjects propagating contractions occurred postprandially. The movement of the intraluminal tracer occurred during both types of motility.
