How does peristalsis in the large intestine differ from peristalsis in the small intestines?

Peristalsis in the large intestine is generally slower and less frequent compared to the small intestine, allowing for greater absorption of water and electrolytes from the remaining indigestible food matter. In the small intestine, peristalsis is more rapid and coordinated, facilitating the efficient mixing and movement of chyme for nutrient absorption. Additionally, the large intestine employs segmentation and haustral contractions to aid in the formation and propulsion of feces, whereas the small intestine primarily relies on a continuous wave-like motion.
