Peristalsisis a radially symmetrical contraction and relaxation of muscles which propagates in a wave down the muscular tube, in an anterograde fashion. In humans, peristalsis is found in the contraction of smooth muscles to propel contents through the digestive tract. Earthworms use a similar mechanism to drive their locomotion.[1] The word is derived from New Latin and comes from the Greek peristallein, "to wrap around," from peri-, "around" +stallein, "to place".

Nutrients are absorbed into the body along the entire length of the digestive tract, not only through the stomach or large intestine. Shortening that tract (as is done in bypass surgeries) only lessens the amount that can be absorbed by lessening the amount of surface the food goes through. Anal-administration of substances works because of this fact.
