What's the difference between peristalsis and vermiculation?
Peristalsis
Definition:
(n.) Peristaltic contraction or action.
Example Sentences:

(18) The pattern of small intestinal peristalsis, presence of colonic haustra, and progressive changes in the colon's intraluminal echogenicity were also evaluated.
(19) However, despite raised intravesical pressures, peristalsis in the isoperistaltic afferent tubular segment gradually returned contrast medium back to the reservoir.
(20) Chronic ileal obstruction was apparently due to disordered peristalsis caused by the fold tethering the adjoining posterior bowel wall.
Vermiculation
Definition:
(n.) The act or operation of moving in the manner of a worm; continuation of motion from one part to another; as, the vermiculation, or peristaltic motion, of the intestines.
(n.) The act of vermiculating, or forming or inlaying so as to resemble the motion, track, or work of a worm.
(n.) Penetration by worms; the state of being wormeaten.
(n.) A very fine wavy crosswise color marking, or a patch of such markings, as on the feathers of birds.
Example Sentences:
