IB Biology C3.1.16 Peristalsis control
Practise recognising how peristalsis moves food through the gut using coordinated muscle action under enteric nervous system control.
How this is tested
- distinguish involuntary enteric control from voluntary central control
- outline how circular and longitudinal muscles move food along the intestine
- apply intestine diagrams to identify structures involved in peristalsis
