Mass movements are unique to the large intestine and involve powerful contractions that move fecal material towards the rectum. Peristaltic movements are seen in the small intestine and help move chyme along the digestive tract. Segmentation and pendular movements are also seen in the small intestine. Writhing movements are not specific to any particular part of the digestive tract.
