Problema 8
Which description best differentiates peristalsis from segmentation in the digestive tract?
A
Peristalsis exclusively occurs in the stomach to churn food while segmentation only occurs in the esophagus to facilitate swallowing
B
Peristalsis is random contraction for mixing only, whereas segmentation is a continuous unidirectional wave that moves chyme rapidly through the colon
C
Peristalsis is a coordinated wave of contraction that propels contents distally; segmentation consists of localized contractions that mix luminal contents without unidirectional propulsion
D
Peristalsis and segmentation are identical processes but use different muscle fiber types in the small and large intestine respectively
