Muscularis: The muscularis is responsible for segmental contractions and peristaltic movement in the GI tract. The muscularis is composed of two layers of muscle: an inner circular and outer longitudinal layer of smooth muscle.
Peristalsis is the process of the movement of food through the GI tract. So, digestion begins in the mouth when you chew and ends in the large intestine 18 to 20 hours later. As food passes through the GI tract, it mixes with digestive juices, causing large molecules of food to break down into smaller molecules.
