What process causes the movement of food?

Peristalsis is the process that causes the movement of food through the digestive system. It involves wave-like muscle contractions that push food along the digestive tract. The process helps mix food with digestive juices and move it from the mouth to the stomach and eventually through the intestines for absorption.


Which process propels the food through the digestive tract?

Peristalsis is the process that propels food through the digestive tract. It involves rhythmic contractions of the muscles in the gastrointestinal tract that push food and nutrients along the digestive system.


What system does the stomach of a frog belong to?

The stomach of a frog belongs to the digestive system. This system is responsible for breaking down food, absorbing nutrients, and eliminating waste.

When smooth muscle digestive oragns squeezes the food through digestive tact is called?

The process by which smooth muscle in digestive organs squeezes food through the digestive tract is called peristalsis. This wave-like contraction moves the food along the esophagus, stomach, and intestines, facilitating digestion and absorption. Peristalsis is an involuntary action controlled by the autonomic nervous system, ensuring that food is transported efficiently through the digestive system.
