The name of peristaltic movement is understood as a change in shape visible to the eye, detected during operation by each hollow organ of the human body, the wall of which is built of smooth muscle fibers. This movement is due to the location of muscle bundles characteristic of smooth muscle organs and the sequential spread of contraction from one segment of the organ to another.
