Several disorders can affect the process of propulsion:
- Achalasia: A condition where the esophagus has trouble moving food into the stomach due to impaired peristalsis. - Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): A disorder that affects the large intestine, leading to altered propulsion and causing symptoms like cramping and bloating. - Vascular Diseases: Conditions like atherosclerosis can impede blood flow and affect propulsion in blood vessels.
