What Does ICC Stand For?
ICC stands for Interstitial Cells Of Cajal
Interstitial Cells of Cajal (ICC) are specialized cells located in the gastrointestinal tract that play a crucial role in regulating intestinal motility. They serve as pacemaker cells, generating and coordinating electrical activity to facilitate the contraction of smooth muscle, thereby influencing peristalsis and digestive processes. ICC are essential for maintaining normal gut function, and their dysfunction is associated with various gastrointestinal disorders.
