| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The gastrointestinal flexure is common among individuals including many animal species. Their research helps us to understand digestive physiology and gastrointestinal pathology. In the present, duodenojejunal flexure (DJF) in mice were investigated as a model, summarizing the following, 1) the formation process was divided into expansion, early flexure and late flexure periods, 2) dorsal mesentery was not associated to DJF formation, and 3) some neural elements were important for DJF formation.
The author can clarify the mechanism of gastrointestinal flexure in individual animal species by using analysis of neural elements.
