What causes wavelike contractions of muscles called peristalsis to begin when food moves through the digestive tract?

These contractions move in a wave-like pattern, propelling food along the digestive tract. Additionally, the autonomic nervous system plays a key role in regulating the intensity and frequency of these contractions.
