DEFINE PERISTALSIS

plz give me answer

Answer 1

Hey there !

Peristalsis

Peristalsis is a sequence of wave-like muscle contraction involved in the movement of food and other liquid particles in a digestive tract to different processing organs present in the digestive system.


This process originates from the esophagus when a completely chewed food is swallowed. These involve reflexive movements of the circular and longitudinal muscles majorly in the digestive area but sometimes in hollow tubes that exist in progressive wave-like contractions. Peristalsis waves are present in stomach, esophagus, and intestines. These waves could be shorter, longer, continuous or continual that move within the entire length of the organs based on their location.

Hope it helps you !
