What is peristaltic movement
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 7 years, 5 months ago

Peristaltic movement is the contraction and relaxation of the muscles in the food pipe which brings the food down the pipe and into the stomach. The food from mouth after swallowing passes into oesophagus and is pushed down to stomach by a special movement called peristalsis. This peristaltic movement takes place through out the alimentary canal which pushes the food in downwards direction.  At some times the stomach is not ready to take up food causing vomiting, where food is expelled out from the oesophagus to mouth by reverse peristaltic movement.
