A schematic illustration of the intestinal lumen undergoing segmentation, with rhythmic ring contractions creating alternating constricted and dilated compartments that mix chyme. In biological hierarchy, the intestine is an organ within the gastrointestinal (GI) system, with luminal contents confined by the muscular wall. In anatomy and gastrointestinal physiology, segmentation promotes mechanical digestion, disperses enzymes, and exposes contents to the mucosa to facilitate nutrient absorption. The organ is situated within the abdominal cavity.
