Intestinal Peristalsis

Molecular classification: Physiological Process, Gastrointestinal Motility

Overview

Intestinal peristalsis is a physiological process involving coordinated contractions and relaxations of smooth muscle layers in the gastrointestinal tract, propelling contents forward. It is essential for mixing intestinal contents, nutrient absorption, water reabsorption, and waste elimination. The process is mediated by the enteric nervous system and modulated by neurotransmitters, hormones, and mechanical stimuli.
