Introduction : 

Peristalsis : Food is moved along the digestive tract by a sequence of involuntary muscle contractions called peristalsis. Food is moved through the oesophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, and rectum by the wave-like contractions of the smooth muscles in the digestive tract. Peristalsis only helps to propel the food down the digestive tract. It doesn't help in the digestion.
