are three types of intestinal contraction happend at the same time?

Question

there are three types of intestinal contraction,peristalsis,segmental contraction and tonic contraction.are three of them happend at the same time in the same area?or they rotate?or how?

Answer 1

There are many types of muscle contractions in the intestine. There is the forward-propelling “peristaltic” contraction that moves intestinal contents forward. There is “segmental” contraction which can divide the intestine into small segments where different materials can be sequestered temporarily for absorption and digestion. There is also an overall general muscle tone or “tonus” to the intestinal tract and it is this “tonus” that controls the speed by which intestinal contents moves. More muscle tone or tonic contraction means slower movement of intestinal contents.
These three movements can not occur at the same time
