Working extensively with radiographic methods he investigated gastrointestinal motility the nature of gastric peristalsis the mechanism of swallowing and control of the pylorus. Cannon published his observations and explanations in an influential 1911 text The Mechanical Factors in Digestion offered here often identified as a classic work on gastrointestinal physiology and radiology."
