Schematic depiction of segmentation in the small intestine, showing alternating circular smooth‑muscle constrictions that divide the lumen into mixing compartments of chyme and fluid. Within the GI (gastrointestinal) tract hierarchy, the small intestine is the organ illustrated, and its circular muscle generates nonpropulsive rhythmic contractions that remix contents and expose them to the mucosa to enhance digestion and nutrient absorption. The image emphasizes localized rings of contraction and relaxation rather than peristaltic propulsion.
