Describe the two important roles of gut movements?
Gut movement is also known as peristalsis which, quite literally means the wavelike muscle contractions of the digestive tract. Peristalsis occurs for two main reasons: 1) To move the food along throughout the digestive tract so as to move it closer and closer to your anus for excretion. 2) To make sure the nutrients are being absorbed from the food as well as exposing it to the digestive juices secreted from your digestive system so that it may be entirely digested.
Why is peristalsis important to the stomach?
Peristalsis also occurs in the stomach so that it can mix the food together with stomach juices and move the partially digested food into the first part of the small intestine (known as the duodenum).
