Involvement of intramuscular interstitial cells of Cajal in neuroeffector transmission in the gastrointestinal tract

Specialized cells known as interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) are distributed in specific locations within the tunica muscularis of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. ICC serve as electrical pacemakers, provide pathways for the active propagation of slow waves, are mediators of enteric motor neurotrans...
