To move in a wave like motion?
One kind of wave is to undulate.
How does this motion relate to wave motion?
because motion is moving and wave motion has waves
What is a direction that a mechanical wave can displace its medium?
Both parallel and perpendicular to the motion of the wave at the same time/Perpendicular to the motion of the wave/Parallel to the motion of the wave - APEXPerpendicular to the motion of the wave.Parallel to the motion of the wave.Both parallel and pependicular to the motion of the wave at the same time.
What describes the motion of the media for a surface wave?
The motion is parallel to wave direction The motion is both parallel and perpendicular to wave direction. The motion is perpendicular to wave direction.
Is a transverse wave an example of an longitudinal wave?
No, they are different types of wave. Transverse waves vibrate across the direction of motion, like the waves you get when you shake a rope. Longitudinal waves vibrate back and forth along the direction of motion like a sound wave.
What is the wave like motion of the esophagus called?
Peristalsis

What is the name of Wave like process that moves food down the esophagus?
Peristalsis is the term for the wavelike motions of the esophagus.
Describe motion of a water molecule on the surface of the ocean as a wave passes by?
it goes from crest to trough in a wave like motion. this is the right answer
What muscle pushes digesting food along in a wave-like action?
Peristaltic movement.
How does this motion relate to wave motion?
because motion is moving and wave motion has waves
What is it called when food moves though the digestive system by a wave like motion?
Peristalsis. The smooth muscle tissue creates the waves in the esophagus and the intestines. That's why you can eat and drink while upsidedown and digestion continues when you lie down.
What is a direction that a mechanical wave can displace its medium?

The motion is parallel to wave direction The motion is both parallel and perpendicular to wave direction. The motion is perpendicular to wave direction.
Does peristalsis help push food toward your stomach?
yes peristalsis is the wave like motion of either your esophagus pushing food( a bolus) down towards your stomach, or your small and large intestines pushing nutrients through to be processesed by the villi.
Is a transverse wave an example of an longitudinal wave?
No, they are different types of wave. Transverse waves vibrate across the direction of motion, like the waves you get when you shake a rope. Longitudinal waves vibrate back and forth along the direction of motion like a sound wave.
What is the wave like motion that helps digest food?
peristalsis
