What is the waves of muscular movement that pushes food through the digestive system?
Peristalsis is the term for the waves of muscular movement that push food through the digestive system. Peristalsis is accomplished through the activity of smooth muscle.
What is responsible for peristaltic waves?
Peristaltic waves are coordinated contractions of muscles in the digestive tract that help move food through the system. These waves are primarily generated by the enteric nervous system, which is sometimes referred to as the "second brain" due to its ability to regulate digestive processes independently of the central nervous system.

Peristalsis is the coordinated muscle contractions that help move food through the digestive tract. It is essential for mixing food with digestive enzymes, absorbing nutrients, and eliminating waste from the body. Without peristalsis, food would not move effectively through the digestive system, leading to digestive issues and potential blockages.
What is the wave of the muscular movement that pushes food through the digestive system?
Peristalsis is the term for the waves of muscular movement that push food through the digestive system. Peristalsis is accomplished through the activity of smooth muscle.
What body system does the intestines belong to?
