Two proximal High Amplitude Pressure Waves (HAPWs) that develop into SPWs: HAPW-SPWs in response to a meal. (A) HAPWs that turn into SPWs with full anal sphincter relaxation. The image shows activity in 100 cm of the colon (position of 84 sensors are shown at the left side of the figure). The activity was observed 12 min after meal intake. The first HAPW-SPW was associated with liquid outflow, the second with liquid and gas expulsion. (B) 3D representation of (A).
