What else can I help you with?
Peristalsis the squeezing action of the digestive muscles is an example of this type of muscle?
the smooth muscle
What Does peristalsis have to do with the esophagus?
Smooth muscles in the wall of an esophagus move food downward with a squeezing action. These waves of muscle contractions move food through the entire digestive tract. This process is called peristalsis.
What is the action that moves food through the digestive system?
Peristalsis
What is the muscle action that mixes chyme with digestive juices while another muscular action that moves food through the digestive system?
The muscle action that mixes chyme with digestive juices throughout the digestive system is called Peristalsis. Peristalsis are wave-like of contractions and expansions of muscles. The muscles help to move the bolus (food) through the digestive tract. Peristalsis are located all over the digestive tract.
What do you name the muscular action that moves food through the digestive system?
Peristalsis
Muscular wave-like movement of digestive tract walls?
Peristalsis who ever asked this is an idiot just look it up on the internet or in a book
What movement continually mixes the food with digestive juices?
Segmentation is a muscle action that mixes chyme with digestive juices, while Peristalsis is a muscle action that moves food through the digestive system.
What is the involuntary muscle action of alimentary canal?
Peristalsis is the involuntary muscle action of the alimentary canal. It involves wave-like contractions that push food along the digestive tract, allowing for the process of digestion and absorption to occur.
What happens to the body when peristalsis takes place?
Your digestive system performs the complex jobs of moving and breaking down food. Material is moved through the digestive system by wave like contractions of smooth muscles. This musculaur action is called peristalsis (pehr-ih-stawl-sihs).
Which process in humans would change if peristalsis would stop?
Peristaltic action is required by humans and similar animals which ingest and digest their food supplies in similar fashion. It is a pattern of muscular action along the intestinal walls and other parts of the digestive and excretory systems. The muscular action comprises "squeezing" of the contents so that they pass along the flexible, tubular intestine, whilst the other action creates lengthening and shortening of the "tube". This causes the contents of the "tube" to be passed along and ultimately excreted when you "have to go" to the toilet. As to what would change, that's a very theoretical question, the short answer to which is "they would die out", but this will not happen because natural development of species has designed the human body to work far more cleverly.
What causes reverse peristalsis?
There are smooth muscles in the wall of an esophagus that move food downward with a squeezing action. These waves of muscle contractions move food through the entire digestive tract causing peristalsis.
How does food go down your throat?
The process of peristalsis includes the sequential movement of muscles around the exterior of the esophagus, squeezing food toward the stomach. A similar action within the intestines is called catastalsis.
