Peristalsis

• muscle in front of the food bolus relaxes

• muscle behind the food bolus contracts

food bolus is pushed along the gut

The rhythmic contraction and relaxation of the muscles of the gut wall to move food along the alimentary canal

SummaryThe digestive system

• is the system of organs that are involved in the process of digestion

• is made up of the alimentary canal and associated glands

Movement of food along the alimentary canal

• by peristalsis

Absorption of digested food

• by villi
