What type of tissue works to move food along the digestive tract?
Peristalsisis a radially symmetrical contraction and relaxation of muscles which propagates in a wave down the muscular tube, in an anterograde fashion. In humans, peristalsis is found in the contraction of smooth muscles to propel contents through the digestive tract. Earthworms use a similar mechanism to drive their locomotion.[1] The word is derived from New Latin and comes from the Greek peristallein, "to wrap around," from peri-, "around" +stallein, "to place".
What type of epithelial tissue lines the respiratory tract?
Any body area that has an outlet to the out side is covered in a mucous membrane: respiratory tact. digestive tract, urinary tract, even the membrane that surrounds the orbit of the eye (eye ball).
What type of tissue accounts for the movement of food along the digestion tract?
Smooth muscle contractions account for the movement of food along the digestive tract.
What tissue forms the inner lining of the respiratory passages?
The type of epithelial tissue that lines much of the respiratory tract is called pseudostratified columnar. This type of tissue also moves substances across its surface.
What type of epithelial tissue is serosa?
Tunica serosa is the outermost covering of the digestive tube.In most of the digestive tract (stomach and intestines) it consists of a thin layer of loose connective tissue covered by mesothelium (a type of squamous epithelium that lines body cavities); within the peritoneal cavity, this structure is also referred to as visceral peritoneum.
What kind of Involuntary muscle is found in the walls of blood vessels and in the digestive tract?
Smooth muscle tissue is the type of muscle tissue found in the walls of many organs and blood vessels in the body.
What systems are lined with epithelial tissue?
Epithelia tissue lines all the body's surfaces and cavities.It is found on the surface of the body (skin) and lines the entire digestive tract, reproduction tract, respiratory track and lungs, excretory system, and endocrine system.Epithelia tissues that line the spaces of the body that are not directly open to the outside of the body such as the lymphatic system, blood system, and endocrine system is called endothelium. (Endothelia is a type of epithelia tissue by definition.)
The type of muscle that is found in the digestive tract and blood vessels?
Smooth muscle
Does bacteria in the digestive tract cause disease?
