Peristalsis is the procedure of synchronized contractions of the muscular wall of digestive tube. Peristaltic movements might take place from the esophagus until and comprising the bowels. The peristaltic movements are involuntary and they contain the function of moving and mixing food all along the digestive tube. Peristaltic movement scarcity, for illustration, in case of injuries of the innervations of muscular wall of the digestive tube caused by Chaga’s disease, can lead to the interruption of food traffic within the bowels and to rigorous clinical consequences such as megacolon (that is, abnormal enlargement of colon) and megaesophagus (that is, extension of the esophagus).
