MeSH definition : A pattern of gastrointestinal muscle contraction and depolarizing myoelectric activity
that moves from the stomach to the ILEOCECAL VALVE at regular frequency during the
interdigestive period. The complex and its accompanying motor activity periodically
cleanse the bowel of interdigestive secretion and debris in preparation for the next
meal.;
MeSH synonym : complex, migrating motor; complex, migrating myoelectric; complexes, migrating motor; complexes, migrating myoelectric; migrating motor complex; migrating motor complexes; migrating myoelectric complex; migrating myoelectric complexes; motor complexes, migrating; myoelectric complexes, migrating; motor complex, migrating;
