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.

The memories of what it was like to have been a poor boy stayed with Milton Hershey throughout his life. They influenced him strongly when he later founded a school for needy children. Milton S. Hershey was born Sept. 13, 1857, shortly before the American Civil War on a farm in Central Pennsylvania. Like most of the people whom he knew, he was the descendant of people who had come to Pennsylvania from Switzerland and Germany in the 1700s.
