Peristalsis is a series of muscle contractions. These contractions occur in your digestive tract. Peristalsis is also seen in the tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder.

Peristalsis is an automatic and important process. It moves:

Urine from the kidneys into the bladder
Bile from the gallbladder into the duodenum
Peristalsis is a normal function of the body.
