peristalsis is basically the contraction and relaxation of muscle in digestive system which moves food along. for example if you have a staw with a drop of liquid in it, and you squeeze the straw just behind the liquid (this representing the muscular contraction), then the liquid will move away from where you are squeezing. so by the continuous contraction and relaxation of muscles in the walls of the digestive tract, movement of the food occurs. hence, the purpose of peristalsis is the movement of food along the digestive tract.
Peristalsis is a series of involuntary smooth muscle contractions along the walls of the digestive tract that move food through the digestive tractperistalsis

The process in which muscles propel food through the alimentary canal is called peristalsis.
achalasia (absent or ineffective peristalsis)
this is called Peristalsis
Peristalsis is the contraction of the digestive muscles. Peristalsis is the contractions that occur in the smooth muscles of the body.
Peristalsis is the term for the wavelike motions of the esophagus.
Smooth muscle in the walls of the digestive tract contract and form a movement called peristalsis.
It is called peristalsis
The waves of contraction that move food to the stomach are called peristalsis. Peristalsis is a series of coordinated muscle contractions and relaxations that work to push food along the digestive tract.
