The rhythmic movement of muscles in the walls of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is called peristalsis. It helps propel food and nutrients through the digestive system by contracting and relaxing muscles in a coordinated manner. This movement is essential for digestion and absorption of nutrients.
Peristalsis is the term used to describe the muscular contractions that push food through the gastrointestinal system. These rhythmic contractions help propel food along the digestive tract, allowing for the process of digestion and absorption to occur.
As a simplified response, muscles in the tongue pushes food into the pharynx. However, it's a little more complicated than that. This address has good info on your question: http://www.nature.com/gimo/contents/pt1/full/gimo1.html
Peristalsis occurs in all the options listed. It is a wave-like muscle contraction that helps propel food and liquids through the digestive tract.
Contraction of skeletal muscles and one-way valves in veins work together to push blood against gravity back up to the heart. Skeletal muscle contraction squeezes veins, helping propel blood upwards. Valves prevent blood from flowing backwards, ensuring it moves in the right direction.
The rhythmic contractions of tubular organs, such as the esophagus or intestine, are called peristaltic waves. These waves propel the food material forwards. They are automatic due to local nerve plexus. The peristaltic waves increase in rhythm and force due to stimulation by the parasympathetic autonomic nervous system, and decrease due to stimulation by the sympathetic autonomic nervous system.
peristalsis
The peristaltic wave in the digestive system helps propel food through the gastrointestinal tract by contracting and relaxing the muscles in a wave-like motion. This wave-like movement is essential for the proper digestion and absorption of nutrients in the body.
By rhythmic movements called peristalsis. They are wavelike contractions of smooth muscle that propel food through the GI tract.
Peristalsis is the function that moves material through the body. It involves rhythmic contractions of the muscles in the walls of the digestive tract that propel food and waste products forward.

the same as propel is tug.
Prawns generally prefer to walk on the bottom of their habitats. They don't really "swim" as we think of it, but use a swift contraction or two of their tails to propel themselves backwards very quickly to escape danger.
Peristalsis is a symmetrical contraction of muscles which propagates in a wave down the muscular tube, more specifically the esophagus. In humans, peristalsis is found in the contraction of smooth muscles to propel contents through the digestive tract.In much of the gastrointestinal tract, smooth muscles contract in sequence to produce a peristaltic wave which forces a ball of food (called a bolus while in the esophagus and gastrointestinal tract and chyme in the stomach) along the gastrointestinal tract. Peristaltic movement is initiated by circular smooth muscles contracting behind the chewed material to prevent it from moving back into the mouth, followed by a contraction of longitudinal smooth muscles which pushes the digested food forward.
no,you can not propel a boat because propel means to push or drive forwards
Peristalsis is the term used to describe the contractions that move food along the entire gastrointestinal tract, from the esophagus to the intestines. These rhythmic contractions help propel food and waste material through the digestive system for processing and absorption of nutrients.
