What else can I help you with?
Highways of the body?
I would offer: The circulatory system, the nervous system including all the sensory systems, the respiratory system, the lymph system, the alimentary/digestive systems.
Can the alimentary canal be seen in the mantle cavity?
No, the alimentary canal cannot be seen in the mantle cavity. The mantle cavity is primarily a space in mollusks that houses the gills and other structures, while the alimentary canal is part of the digestive system located within the body of the organism. The two systems are distinct, although they may be functionally related in terms of overall physiology.
What action is controlled by involuntary muscles?
There are several actions made by involuntary muscles such as the pumping of the heart, the expanding and contracting of blood vessels moving blood throughout the body and shivering which are involuntary muscle contractions that created thermal energy to heat up the body when its cold.Digestion is one. Breathing is another.
How do sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve impulses affect the alimentary canal?
Sympathetic nerve impulses generally inhibit digestive functions by reducing peristalsis and secretions in the alimentary canal, promoting processes like the "fight or flight" response. In contrast, parasympathetic nerve impulses stimulate digestion by enhancing peristalsis and increasing the secretion of digestive enzymes and fluids, leading to a more active digestive process. Together, these two systems help regulate the balance between digestion and the body's other physiological needs.
What two systems are involved in excretion?
The two systems involved in excretion are the urinary system and the digestive system. The urinary system removes waste products from the blood and produces urine, while the digestive system eliminates solid waste products from the body through feces.
When crocodiles eat fish do they spit out the bones or do they swallow them?
Crocodiles swallow their foods whole, even fish, bones and all. They have alimentary canals and digestive systems designed to manage and extract nutrients from all parts of their prey.
What two organ systems are most responsible for movement?
The two organ systems most responsible for movement are the muscular system and the skeletal system. The muscular system generates force through muscle contractions, while the skeletal system provides a framework for support and leverage. Together, these systems enable voluntary movements, such as walking and running, as well as involuntary movements, like those of the heart and digestive tract. Additionally, the nervous system plays a crucial role by coordinating and controlling these movements.
Do amphibians have digestive systems?
Oh yes, amphibians have digestive systems.
What pushes food through are systems?
Food is pushed through the digestive system primarily by a process called peristalsis, which involves rhythmic contractions of the smooth muscles lining the digestive tract. These contractions propel food along from the esophagus to the stomach and through the intestines. Additionally, the movement is aided by various enzymes and digestive juices that break down food, facilitating its passage and absorption of nutrients. Overall, this coordinated effort ensures efficient processing of food and nutrient absorption.
What system is responsible for contractions in the uterus?
The muscular, nervous, and endocrine systems all control contractions in the uterus.
What controls involuntary systems?
The autonomic nervous system regulates the involuntary systems. An example of this is the Fight or Flight system. Your heart beat increases as well as your blood pressure.
Who uses the musculAR system?
All humans use th emuscular system for movement, maintaining posture, and protecting joints. The involuntary muscles have important roles in many other body systems, such as the digestive system.
