The rhythmic muscular contractions of the digestive system are called peristalsis.
peristalsis
The movement of the walls of the stomach is accomplished by a group of smooth muscle that undergoes what is called peristaltic action.
Its a type of smooth muscle that is made up of fibers bounded together to form a single unit.It is found in walls of hollow organs(digestive tract, urinary tract, hollow vessels and reproductive system.In some cases they are self- excitable.They spontaneously generate graded oscillation in their membrane potential that is rhythmical in nature called slow wave potential or pace maker activity.
true
It contains four layers
The part of the respiratory tract between the pharynx and the trachea, having walls of cartilage and muscle and containing the vocal cords enveloped in folds of mucous membrane.the voice box in which contains the vocal cords in the neck
The stomach has the thickest walls and the strongest muscle in all the GI tract organs. : )
Smooth muscle in the walls of the digestive tract contract and form a movement called peristalsis.
digestive tract
Peristalsis.
The movement of the walls of the stomach is accomplished by a group of smooth muscle that undergoes what is called peristaltic action.
Smooth muscle tissue is the type of muscle tissue found in the walls of many organs and blood vessels in the body.
no this is smooth muscles
Peristalsis is the contraction and propelling movement of the muscular walls of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
Smooth Muscles
The movement of the walls of the stomach is accomplished by a group of smooth muscle that undergoes what is called peristaltic action.
Striated muscle is found in cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle, so this leaves non-striated muscle as smooth muscle. Smooth muscle can be found within the walls of blood vessels, GI tract, respiratory tract, bladder, uterus, iris of the eye, and maybe a few more places in the body.
Smooth Muscles line the walls of tubelike structure such as the gastrointestinal tract, the urinary system, the blood vessels and the bronchi of the lungs.
