What valve controls the movement of food between the stomach and small intestine?
The valve that controls the movement of food between the stomach and small intestine is called the pyloric sphincter. It regulates the passage of partially digested food from the stomach into the small intestine for further digestion and absorption.
Valve controlling food movement from the stomach into the duodenum?
Pyloric valve
What is the gentle movement of stomach called when it churns food?

What is the role of the non striated muscle in the stomach?
The non-striated muscle in the stomach, known as smooth muscle, plays a crucial role in the process of digestion. It helps to propel food along the digestive tract through a coordinated contraction and relaxation mechanism called peristalsis. This movement allows for the mixing and breakdown of food, as well as the controlled release of food into the intestines for further digestion and absorption.
What is the movement of the stomach walls?
The stomach walls contract and relax in a process called peristalsis to help mix and break down food. This movement helps propel food to the small intestine for further digestion and absorption of nutrients.
In digestion what is the function of the eosophagus?
The esophagus is the muscular tube connecting your mouth to your stomach. The muscles are a special type, smooth muscle tissue which contracts and relaxs without conscious thought. The movement is controlled by nerve tissues ad the contractions move the food along.
Where does peristaltic action occurs within?
peristaltic movement occurs throughout the gut during the process of digestion.the buccal cavity partially digests the food and it is sent to the oesophsgus where the peristaltic movement occurs to push the partially digested food to the stomach.
Is the esophagus voluntary?
The esophagus is primarily controlled by involuntary muscle contractions called peristalsis, which moves food from the mouth to the stomach. However, we can control the movement of food voluntarily to some extent, such as during swallowing.
What carries food from the mouth to the stomach with peristaltic bands pushing the food downwards?
OESAPHAGUS carries food from the mouth to the peristalsis bands pushing the food downwards through a movement called peristaltic movement.
