The normal movements and muscular contractions of the intestines that help move food and digestive matter along the digestive tract.
Greek 'enteron' (intestine) + 'kinesia' (movement, from 'kinein' meaning to move). This term directly describes the mechanical action the intestines perform constantly.
Your intestines are squeezing and moving about 30 feet of tubing hundreds of times a day—if you could see it, it would look like a wave traveling through a rubber tube, and that's enterokinesia.
