Mechanical experimentation of the gastrointestinal tract: a systematic review

Ciara Durcan,
Mokarram Hossain,
Grégory Chagnon
et al.

Abstract: The gastrointestinal (GI) organs of the human body are responsible for transporting and extracting nutrients from food and drink, as well as excreting solid waste. Biomechanical experimentation of the GI organs provides insight into the mechanisms involved in their normal physiological functions, as well as understanding of how diseases can cause disruption to these. Additionally, experimental findings form the basis of all finite element (FE) modelling of these organs, which have a wide array of applications … Show more

“…The layer-dependent properties of the oesophagus can be established ex vivo due to the fact that it is the only visceral organ that can be relatively easily separated into its two main layers after explantation through careful cutting of the loose connective tissue binding the layers together [17,18]. However, as of yet, the passive mechanical properties of the discrete layers of the oesophagus have not been investigated using fresh, human tissue [19][20][21][22][23], apart from by Tøttrup et al [24], who tested the behaviour of only isolated longitudinal and circular smooth muscle from the human oesophagus over three decades ago.…”

“…The intrinsic material properties of soft tissues have been investigated and discussed in the fields of biomechanics and tissue engineering, in the development of biomaterials for medical use, and in elucidating mechanisms of tissue injury and disease pathologies ( Fung, 1993 ; Payne et al, 2015 ; Ma et al, 2018 ; Garreta et al, 2021 ; Liu et al, 2022 ; Zhuang et al, 2022 ; Adu-Berchie et al, 2023 ; Biro et al, 2023 ; Chanda and Singh, 2023 ; Durcan et al, 2023 ; Karrech et al, 2023 ; Nesbitt et al, 2023 ). For engineering materials, standardized testing protocols are available to evaluate the material properties of a sample.…”
