Peristalsis
It is the involuntary wavelike movement that occurs in almost all the tubular structures in the body. It is especially seen in GIT (Gastrointestinal tract) Fallopian tubes, etc.
In GIT this movement is responsible for the propulsion of the food further into the tract and its proper digestion. In fallopian tubes this movement helps to carry the ovum towards uterus.
This movement is controlled by autonomic nervous system.
