Mass movement is a modified type of peristalsis in the colon,propelling the fecal material in this segment en masse fuher down the colon and force feces into the rectum. When the walls of the rectum are stretched by the feces, the defecation reflex is initiated and a bowel movement follows when this is convenient.
