All of the following statements are true for 'Intestinal Motility' except
Migrating Motor Complex(MMC) is the name given to the peristaltic wave that begins in the oesophagus & travels through the entire GIT during the inter-digestive period. The coordinated peristaltic activity is dependent on the integrity of enteric nerve plexus.The usual stimulus for peristalsis is distension. This response to stretch is called myenteric reflex. Activity of myenteric plexus from a stimulus point travels in either direction to activate neurons that release Ach. Ceain hormones like CCK enhance intestinal motility.

Does not depend on Gastric motility
Increased by Distension
Increased by Acetylcholine
Increased by cholecystokinin
