Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Peristaltic locomotion involves the movement through successive waves of muscle contractions, which is dependent on segments controlled by individual muscles and nerves, segments filled with coelom acting under hydrostatic pressure. Thus, all the options listed contribute to peristaltic locomotion.
