🗑
peristalsis   parasympathetic constriction and relaxation of the muscles of the intestine or any other canal to move contents along  
🗑
major laxatives   bulk (bran and fiber), lubricants (mineral oil), mineral salts (Mg; they are not absorbed so they increase the osmotic pressure of the fecal material), irritants (speed up rate of preistalsis  
🗑

🗑
irritable bowel syndrom   called spastic colitis; caused by emotional stress
