What occurs infrequently and acts to move feces over relatively long distances toward the anus?
peristalsis
What is the type of movement that occurs in your organs?
The wave like process known as peristalsis is what moves through the body. Peristalsis happens in process i.e.: digestion, excretion of liquid and solid wastes, when your stomach is churning, and also when you have a baby the contractions also come in waves.
How may times peristaltic movement occurs in one minute?
The frequency of peristaltic movement can vary depending on the location in the body. In the small intestine, for example, peristalsis occurs approximately 8-12 times per minute. In the esophagus, peristalsis typically occurs at a rate of about 3-4 times per minute.
What three areas of the body does peristalsis occur?
Esophagus, small intestines, large intestines
Where peristalsis occur?
Peristalsis occurs mainly in the gastrointestinal tract, where it helps propel food along the digestive system through rhythmic contractions of the smooth muscle tissue in the walls of the organs, like the esophagus, stomach, and intestines.
Where does peristalsis take place?
It occurs in the stomach, the esophagus and the intestines.
What is segmentation and peristalsis?
This the way the movement occurs in smooth muscle. Peristalsis occurs in the intestine. Segmental movements occur there also but in large waves.
What is peristalsis and segmental movements?
This the way the movement occurs in smooth muscle. Peristalsis occurs in the intestine. Segmental movements occur there also but in large waves.
What are two organs where peristalsis occurs?
Peristalsis primarily occurs in the esophagus and the intestines. In the esophagus, it facilitates the movement of food from the throat to the stomach. In the intestines, peristalsis helps propel digested food through the digestive tract, aiding in nutrient absorption and waste elimination.
What is an antiperistalsis?
Antiperistalsis is the action of peristalsis occuring in the opposite direction to the direction in which it usually occurs.
What is antiperistalsis?

Peristalsis occurs in all the following except mouth esophagus intestines or stomach?
Peristalsis occurs in all the options listed. It is a wave-like muscle contraction that helps propel food and liquids through the digestive tract.
What is the tube through which food moves via peristalsis but no digestion takes place?
The esophagus moves food via peristalsis, but no digestion occurs in the esophagus. It connects the mouth and stomach.
In which organs wall does peristalsis occur?
Peristalsis occurs in the oesophagus (gullet) all the way to the rectum, so one can safely say that it occurs in the: 1. oesophagus/ gullet 2. stomach 3. small intestine 4. large intestine 5. (rectum)
