Abstract
Physiological studies of the colon have focused basically on motility, water, and electrolyte absorption and secretion, but only occasionally on mucus secretion. Knowledge of the secretion of mucosubstances is scanty probably because of the enormous technical complexity required for its research. As with other organs, the quantity and quality of mucus secretion in the colon may be of major importance in pathology.
