</p><p>A <b>slow-wave potential</b> is a rhythmic electrophysiological event in the <a href="Gastrointestinal_tract" title="Gastrointestinal tract">gastrointestinal tract</a>.

<p>In the human <a href="Enteric_nervous_system" title="Enteric nervous system">enteric nervous system</a>, the <b>slow-wave threshold</b> is the slow-wave potential which must be reached before a slow wave can be propagated in <a href="Smooth_muscle" title="Smooth muscle">smooth muscle</a> of the gut wall. When the amplitude of slow waves in smooth muscle cells reaches the slow-wave threshold — the L-type Ca<sup>2+</sup> channels are activated, resulting in calcium influx and initiation of motility.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Slow waves are generated at unique intrinsic frequencies by the interstitial Cajal cells, even within the same organ. <a href="Entrainment_(physics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Entrainment (physics)">Entrainment</a> of these different intrinsic frequencies through electrical coupling allows these unique intrinsic frequencies to occur at a single frequency within the stomach and segments of the small intestine.
