Peristalsis the squeezing action of the digestive muscle is an example of what type of muscle?
Smooth muscles. These muscles are not striated and are involuntary.
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.
Is peristalsis chemical digestion or mechanical?
It's mechanical. Peristalsis includes muscles moving material through the digestive system.Yes
What Does peristalsis have to do with the esophagus?
Smooth muscles in the wall of an esophagus move food downward with a squeezing action. These waves of muscle contractions move food through the entire digestive tract. This process is called peristalsis.
What is the contraction of the digestive system?
Peristalsis is the name of the digestive tract muscles pushing the food along... Is this what you were referring to?
What is peristalsis for?
peristalsis is basically the contraction and relaxation of muscle in digestive system which moves food along. for example if you have a staw with a drop of liquid in it, and you squeeze the straw just behind the liquid (this representing the muscular contraction), then the liquid will move away from where you are squeezing. so by the continuous contraction and relaxation of muscles in the walls of the digestive tract, movement of the food occurs. hence, the purpose of peristalsis is the movement of food along the digestive tract.
Is peristalsis is chemical change?
No. Peristalsis is a physical process in which the involuntary muscles of the digestive tract contract and move food along.
What is the muscle action that mixes chyme with digestive juices while another muscular action that moves food through the digestive system?
The muscle action that mixes chyme with digestive juices throughout the digestive system is called Peristalsis. Peristalsis are wave-like of contractions and expansions of muscles. The muscles help to move the bolus (food) through the digestive tract. Peristalsis are located all over the digestive tract.
What is the name of the process by which food material moves along the alimentary canal?
When we swallow, food is moved down into the stomach from the mouth. This is peristalsis, and it's a rhythmic contraction of smooth muscles. A link can be found below for more information.
What are the causes of peristalsis?
The squeezing motion of the smooth muscles in the esophagus. It moves in waves to force food down and through the esophagus into the stomach. This motion continues until food has been moved through the entire digestive system.
What are the mixing waves in digestive system?
These waves of in the smooth muscles in the GI tract are call peristalsis.
What is perisatalsis?
Peristalsis is the contraction of smooth muscles that cause food to move throughout the digestive tract.
