The result is but theexpression of the balance between theartificial pressure exerted and the resis-tance offered. Even under perfectly normalconditions the small intestinal columnmust feel the resistance of the cecal con-tents ahead at those times when thesphincter mechanism in the terminal ileumis open. It is only when distal resistanceis abnormally great through abnormal con-ditions and a certain maximum pressureis exceeded that the valve gives way.The whole present conception of abnormalintra-alimentary tension transmissionpoints to one function of the sphinctersbeing that of protectors or guards againstpernicious transmission of tensions inaddition to the usually appreciated actionof favorably retarding motility that theends of digestion and absorption may beserved.
