Is an intestinal roundworm whose larvae may migrate from the digestive tract and form cysts in various muscles of the body?
Yes, an intestinal roundworm that can cause larvae to migrate from the digestive tract and form cysts in various muscles is known as Trichinella spiralis. This parasite is responsible for trichinosis, a disease that occurs when humans consume undercooked meat containing its larvae. Once ingested, the larvae can invade the intestinal wall, mature, and eventually migrate to muscle tissues, leading to various symptoms such as muscle pain and fever.

Are the intestinal muscles involuntary or voluntary?
The intestinal muscles are involuntary, meaning they operate without conscious control. These muscles, known as smooth muscles, contract automatically to facilitate the movement of food and waste through the digestive tract. This process, called peristalsis, is essential for digestion and is regulated by the autonomic nervous system.
What kind of muscles are the intestinal muscles?
blue
What is the difference between abdominal muscles and intestinal muscles?
I'm no expert but one difference is your external abdominal muscles are voluntary and intestinal muscles are involuntary.
How do humans release their intestinal gas on command from the lower intestinal tract?
They cannot. Your digestive tract is under the control of your involutary muscles. Because of this, you have no way to control this process any more than you can control if you will digest food or not.
What is the result of the peristaltic rush in the small intestine?
The peristaltic rush in the small intestine is a rapid, wave-like contraction of the intestinal muscles that propels contents through the digestive tract. This phenomenon can occur in response to irritation or excessive stretching of the intestinal wall, often leading to diarrhea. The result is a quick movement of intestinal contents, which may prevent proper absorption of nutrients and fluids. Ultimately, it can disrupt normal digestive processes and lead to dehydration if persistent.
What are the involuntary muscles of the digestive system?
smooth muscles
Which muscle work 247?
cardiac muscle and intestinal muscles..
What are the muscles in the small intestine called?
The muscles in the intestines are not named, specifically. There are circumferential muscle layers and longitudinal muscle layers in the intestines. These muscle layers create the peristalsis that moves food and digestive products through the intestinal tract. If you are asking the names of the muscles of the abdominal wall, they are the rectus abdominis, internal and external obliques, and the transverse abdominal muscles.
Are there striated muscles in the digestive tract?
no
Which of following processes is the function of the smooth muscle layer of the digestive system?
The small and large intestines comprise the final and terminal sections of the gastrointestinal tract. The movement of bile along these sections is aided by peristaltic contractions of intestinal muscles.
What is the involuntary muscle contraction that moves food through digestive system?
Yes, involantary muscles move food through the intestinal tract.
Are smooth muscles involuntary muscles?
yes. The smooth muscles (e.g. in the digestive tract) are involuntary.
