Which structure keeps the acid chyme from spurting up the esophagus as the stomach undergoes muscular contractions?
The lower esophageal sphincter is the structure the keeps acid and stomach contents from spurting up the esophagus as the stomach undergoes muscular contractions. This structure is also referred to as the cardiac sphincter.
What sphincter prevents food to move from large intestine to the small intestine?
The large intestine begins at the ileocecal junction and extends to the anus. The ileocecal junction contains a muscular ring called the ileocecal sphincter, which prevents the backflow of wastes from the large intestine into the small intestine.
How the digestive system starts?
In humans, digestion begins in the mouth where food is chewed and and swallowed with the assistance of the salivary glands.
How do the digestive muscular and skeletal system work together to breakdown food?
The smooth muscles of the muscular system can be found in the esophagus. The esophagus pushes food down into the stomach where further digestion begins.
What is the saclike organ at the end of the esophagus called?
Did you mean 'bag like organ' The stomach is part of the digestive system, which is sometimes called the gastrointestinal tract. It is a muscular, bag-like organ which lies between the lower end of the gullet (oesophagus) and the beginning of the small bowel (small intestine). Once food has been swallowed it passes down the gullet and into the stomach. Both ends of the esophagus are closed off by muscular constrictions known as sphincters; at the anterior, or upper, end is the upper esophageal sphincter, and at the distal, or lower, end is the lower esophageal sphincter. The cardia (also known as Z-line or esophagogastric junction or gastroesophageal junction) is the anatomical term for the junction orifice of the stomach and the esophagus. At the cardia, the mucosa of the esophagus transitions into gastric mucosa. The cardia is also the site of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) (also termed cardiac sphincter, gastroesophageal sphincter, and esophageal sphincter).
What is muscular waves that move materials along the digestive tract?
Peristalsis. The process of peristalsis begins in the esophagus when a bolus of food is swallowed.
Where does peristalsis start?
The process of peristalsis begins in the esophagus when food is given. Peristalsis is a series of wave like contractions that moves food through the digestive tract.
What are the steps in the digestuive system?
The digestive tract begins at the oral cavity and continues through the pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine, which opens to the exterior at the anus.
What is the path food takes through the digestive system?
Starts with the mouth. Mastication (chewing) takes place. The teeth help with the mastication. The tongue pushes food down the throat. Salivary glands help break down the food. Pepsin breaks down the protein. Degluition (swallowing) takes place. Food goes down the pharynx, or throat. Goes down the esophagus, where peristalsis takes place. The cardiac sphincter released the food down to the stomach. Passes the appendix on thw way. Hydrochloric Acid is in the stomach. Pyloric sphincter released it down to the small intestine.

How does the starfish use its two stomachs?
