Figure 6 - Model showing the marked delay in onset of distal esophageal contractions during peristalsis.
With the initial stimulation, be it swallowing or distention, there is a short-lived hyperpolarization that is slightly longer in more aboral region of the esophagus. Intrinsic descending ...

Figure 5 - Simultaneous recording of electrical and mechanical activity in opossum smooth muscle esophagus.
With primary peristalsis, note that the delay in onset of depolarization, spike burst, and esophageal contraction in the distal esophagus relates to a marked secondary hyperpolarization (arrow).
