This the way the movement occurs in smooth muscle. Peristalsis occurs in the intestine. Segmental movements occur there also but in large waves.

The two types of movement in the small intestine are peristalsis and segmental movements. Segmental movements, which are more common in the small intestine than peristalsis, move the digesting food back and forth in a part of the small intestine. This lets the food mix with intestinal juices. Peristalsis is one-way movement that pushes the digesting food through the small intestine toward the large intestine.
movement of chyme from the stomach to the small intestine is regulated by what
Peristalsis. .
Peristalsis. This process moves ingesta along the digestive tract.
Peristalsis does not occur in the stomach. While the stomach does have muscular contractions for churning and mixing food, these movements are not classified as peristalsis. Peristalsis is primarily associated with the esophagus, intestines, and other tubular structures in the digestive system, where it facilitates the movement of food and waste.
You are possibly thinking of the movements called peristalsis which pass along your gut. Peristalsis is a wave of contraction and relaxation of circular and longitudinal muscles which passes along the wall of the gut. Its function is to push food along.This movement could be described as similar to the contraction and relaxation of muscles in the body wall of worms during locomotion.
Segmental movement is the special type of mixing movement that pushes chyme back and forth in the small intestine. This motion lets it mix more completely with intestinal juices. In contrast, peristalsis, which is less common in the small intestine than segmental movement, is a one way movement of the chyme towards the large intestine.
peristalsis is voluntary, the pharyngeal-esophageal is the invoulantary movements of swallowing!
Involuntary muscle movements along with the help of gravity help to move food from the mouth to the colon. These movements of smooth muscle is called peristalsis.
Peristaltic contractions proceed along length of intestine for variable distance and cause chyme to move along small intestine. Segmental contractions are propagated for only short distance and mix intestinal contentsperistalsis and segmental movements
The term 'peristalsis' refers to the transportation of material via rhythmic muscular movements. Both the esophogus and the colon (small and large intestines) utilize peristalsis. Peristalsis within the esophogus aids the transportation of food from the mouth to the stomach, while the colon functions via peristalsis to rid waste products from the body.
