Usage Examples English
  • The possible persistence of symptoms after surgical bypass can be traced to the remaining prominence of reversed peristalsis in contrast to direct peristalsis, although the precipitating factor (the duodenal compression) has been bypassed or relieved.
  • The ureters are a component of the urinary system. Urine, produced by the kidneys, travels along the ureters to the bladder. It does this through regular contractions called peristalsis.
  • Robots have been designed that use peristalsis to achieve locomotion, as the earthworm uses it.
  • The thickest muscularis layer is found in the stomach (triple layered) and thus maximum peristalsis occurs in the stomach.
  • The urine collected by the kidney is emptied into the cloaca through the ureters and then to the colon by reverse peristalsis.

  • The inferior pharyngeal constrictor muscle has a broad role in moving the lower part of the pharynx. During swallowing, they contract and cause peristalsis in the pharynx.
  • Glycerol is a specific bowel mucosa irritant serving to induce peristalsis via a hyperosmotic effect.
  • Catastalsis is the rhythmic contraction and relaxation of the muscle of the intestines. It resembles ordinary peristalsis but is not preceded by a wave of inhibition.
  • There are two types of intestinal motility – peristalsis and segmentation.
  • ICD-10 coding reflects both impaired-peristalsis senses and mechanical-obstruction senses of the term as modified by various adjectives.

  • A second generation device was later released, which measures secondary peristalsis proximal to the EGJ.
  • The gastroileal reflex is stimulated by the presence of food in the stomach and gastric peristalsis.
  • Many annelids move by peristalsis (waves of contraction and expansion that sweep along the body), or flex the body while using parapodia to crawl or swim.
  • Peristalsis of the smooth muscle originating in pace-maker cells originating in the walls of the calyces propels urine through the renal pelvis and ureters to the bladder.
  • The contraction of different regions of musculature enables the sea cucumber to move around as waves of peristalsis pass along the body.

  • Normal peristalsis depends upon the interaction between muscles, nerve cells and tendinous connective tissue. A malfunction of any of these leads to intestinal motility disorders.
  • Sulphates draw water from the cells of the intestinal wall by osmosis, increasing the volume of intestinal content 3 to 5 times; this exerts pressure on the intestinal wall and triggers its peristalsis or movement.
