In the Colon of Large Intestine
What causes the movement of food through the large intestine?

The strongest muscle contractions are normally achieved by what?
The strongest muscle contractions are normally achieved by increasing the stimulation up to the maximal stimulus. There are various classifications of contractions, including eccentric and concentric.
What structures controls the passage of materials from the small intestine to the large intestine?
The iliocecal sphincterThe ileum is the last (and longest) portion of small intestine. It empties into into the cecum (the first part of the "large intestine") at the iliocecal junction. The iliocecal sphincter is a ring of invountary smooth muscle at this junction, controlling the passage of digestive contents from the small intestine to the large intestine.
What is perstalsis?
Food is pushed down the oesophagus by a series of contractions. The part of the oesophagus just above the ball of food contracts and pushes it down. then it relaxes and the next part of the oesophagus contracts. this wavelike movement, controlled by muscles, is called peristalsis. It occurs all the way down the alimentary canal.
