Question

Explain the significance of peristaltic

Answer 1

Peristalsis is a series of muscle contractions. These contractions occur in your digestive tract. Peristalsis is also seen in some organs that connect the kidneys to the bladder. Peristalsis is an automatic and important process.

Answer 2

The role of peristalsis in the digestive system is that it is the way food is propelled down the oesophagus and into the stomach; then peristalsis moves the digested food through the small and large intestine and then through the rectum and anus.
