Question

what is the consequences of increased and decreased peristaltic movement of GIT?​

Answer 1

Please mark my as BRAINLIEST ............Peristalsis is primarily found throughout the gastrointestinal tract and is the involuntary propulsion of food. This movement begins in the pharynx, once a food bolus is formed, and ends in the anus. Along with segmentation or mixing of food, peristalsis is an essential part of providing the body with nutrients.

The gastrointestinal tract is innervated by the enteric nervous system (ENS), and the parasympathetic nervous system activates peristalsis through the myenteric plexus. The myenteric plexus, along with interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC), contribute to the contraction and relaxation of the circular and longitudinal muscles found within the gastrointestinal tract.
