Mixing of ingesta in the intestine is called?
The mixing of ingesta in the intestine is called peristalsis. This process involves coordinated muscle contractions that move the contents of the intestine along and aid in digestion and absorption.
What process increases the surface area of foods prior to chemical digestion?
Mechanical digestion is the process that increases the surface area of foods prior to chemical digestion. This process involves chewing, churning in the stomach, and segmentation in the small intestine to physically break down food into smaller pieces, allowing enzymes to work more efficiently.
What system changes food into a soluble substance?
The digestive system changes food into a soluble substance. This process involves mechanical digestion (chewing and churning) in the mouth and stomach, as well as chemical digestion through enzymes in the stomach and small intestine that break down food into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body.
Masseter and temporalis muscles are used for?
They are responsible for mastication process (i.e)chewing the food
Is peristalsis chemical digestion or mechanical?
It's mechanical. Peristalsis includes muscles moving material through the digestive system.Yes
What makes your food mix your food with chemicals?
Chewing starts the process, stomach muscles continue the mixing.
Is mechanical physical or chemical?
Mechanical digestion is considered a physical process and includes actions such as mastication (chewing) and peristalsis (squeezing) of the intestine.
The two muscles which contract to seal off food while it is churning in the stomach during the digestive process are called?
The two muscles are the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and the pyloric sphincter. The LES prevents food from going back up into the esophagus, while the pyloric sphincter controls the flow of partly digested food from the stomach into the small intestine.
Process by which we can separate cream from milk?
churning
What muscle originates in the zygomatic process?
The zygomatic process is located on the temporal bone. The process is connected to the zygomatic bone to create the zygomatic arch.
What muscle is very important for breakfast lunch and dinner called?
The muscle important for chewing food at breakfast, lunch, and dinner is the masseter muscle. It is one of the primary muscles involved in the process of mastication (chewing) by moving the jaw up and down.
What inserts on the coronoid process of the mandible?
The insertion of the temporalis muscle is on the coronoid process of the mandible.
