The small intestine is an important organ for digestion and absorption of nutrients. In this lesson you will learn about the enterogastric reflex. You will also learn how intestinal movements, such as peristalsis, segmentation, and pendular movement, improve digestion and absorption.eristalsis moves food along the small intestine, but we also see two other movements within the organ. While these two movements do not push the food along the tract like peristalsis, they do mix the chyme with the digestive juices and bring particles of food into contact with the wall where they can be absorbed.
