Understanding Digestive System Motility: Processes and Functions Explained

In this second part of our exploration of the digestive system, we delve into the concept of motility. Motility refers to the movements that mix and propel the contents of the digestive tract, essential for digestion and nutrient absorption. We will examine the various types of muscle contractions, the role of the enteric nervous system, and the significance of motility in different parts of the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, and intestines. Understanding motility is key to grasping how our bodies digest food efficiently.
