What refers to the rythmic wave of contraction of smooth muscle?
Peristalsis
What is the part of the digestive system which uses rhythmic muscle movement?
The term 'peristalsis' refers to the transportation of material via rhythmic muscular movements. Both the esophogus and the colon (small and large intestines) utilize peristalsis. Peristalsis within the esophogus aids the transportation of food from the mouth to the stomach, while the colon functions via peristalsis to rid waste products from the body.
Food moves through the digestive tract by wavelike contractions called?
Peristalsis is a series of involuntary smooth muscle contractions along the walls of the digestive tract that move food through the digestive tractperistalsis
What is the muscular contractions of the esophagus?
peristalsis.
In which place does peristalsis not occur?

The squeezing motion that pushes food through the digestive system is called what?
Peristalsis.
What is the opposite of peristalsis?
The opposite of peristalsis is a process known as "reflux" or "retroperistalsis." While peristalsis involves the coordinated contraction of muscles to move food and liquids through the digestive tract in a forward direction, reflux or retroperistalsis refers to the backward movement of contents, often seen in conditions like acid reflux or during vomiting. In essence, peristalsis facilitates forward movement, while its opposite results in backward movement.
Smooth muscle propels food through the alimentary canal by a process called?
The process in which muscles propel food through the alimentary canal is called peristalsis.
What is stimulate peristalsis?
Stimulating peristalsis refers to the process of promoting the rhythmic contractions of the smooth muscles in the gastrointestinal tract, which help move food and waste through the digestive system. This can be achieved through various means, such as dietary changes, hydration, physical activity, and certain medications. Proper stimulation of peristalsis is essential for effective digestion and regular bowel movements. Insufficient peristalsis can lead to issues like constipation and digestive discomfort.
Muscular contractions of digestive tract?
this is called Peristalsis
What is absence of peristalsis?
achalasia (absent or ineffective peristalsis)
Peristalsis is example of what type of muscle?
Peristalsis is the contraction of the digestive muscles. Peristalsis is the contractions that occur in the smooth muscles of the body.
