Peristalsis
Peristalsis occurs in the oesophagus (gullet) all the way to the rectum, so one can safely say that it occurs in the: 1. oesophagus/ gullet 2. stomach 3. small intestine 4. large intestine 5. (rectum)
It occurs in the stomach, the esophagus and the intestines.
Peristalsis is the contractions and the relaxations made by the muscles of the body especially by the muscles of the alimentary canal. Peristalsis is important for the movement of food through the oesophagus (so that the food can reach the stomach) and the large intestine (for prevention of constipation). Peristaltic movement also takes place in the reproductive organs of the body.
This the way the movement occurs in smooth muscle. Peristalsis occurs in the intestine. Segmental movements occur there also but in large waves.
Our Oesophagus' use Peristalsis to squeeze food down into our stomach. That's all I can think of! !

The wave like process known as peristalsis is what moves through the body. Peristalsis happens in process i.e.: digestion, excretion of liquid and solid wastes, when your stomach is churning, and also when you have a baby the contractions also come in waves.

The esophagus, you throw up; vomit. *Actually, throwing up is not the result of "reverse peristalsis." Throwing up is the result of stomach contractions that force the stomach contents up the esophagus and out the mouth (which is why you feel your abdomen tighten up while retching).
