What else can I help you with?
How does food pass your organs?
By rhythmic movements called peristalsis. They are wavelike contractions of smooth muscle that propel food through the GI tract.
What is a wavelike motion that pushes food downward?
Peristalsis is the wavelike motion of muscles that pushes food downward through the digestive tract. It helps propel food and liquids from the esophagus to the stomach and through the intestines for digestion and absorption.
What is the progressive wavelike movement that occurs involuntarily in hollow tubes of the body?
Peristalsis is the progressive wavelike movement that occurs involuntarily in hollow tubes of the body, such as the digestive system. It helps propel contents through these tubes, like food through the esophagus or waste through the intestines.
What pushes food through the digestive food?
The peristalsis which is a wavelike muscle contraction
What is the wavelike movement that moves food through the insestines?
Peristalsis
What is the same name of the wave like contractios that propel the food along gut?
The wave-like contractions that propel food along the gut are called peristalsis. This involuntary muscle movement occurs in the digestive tract, helping to push food through the esophagus, stomach, and intestines. Peristalsis is essential for the proper digestion and absorption of nutrients.
The partially digested food is then moved by wavelike contractions known as?
Peristalsis.
What term describes a series a wavelike contractions of the smooth muscles in a single direction?
The wavelike contractions of the smooth muscle in the gastrointestinal system are called peristalsis. The purpose of peristalsis is to push boluses of food along the gastrointestinal tract. This is achieved by the waves of contractions in the smooth muscle followed by relaxation of the muscles, pushing the bolus (ball of food) a bit further along the digestive tract with each contraction. These contractions move food or chyme through the esophagus, and intestines. The same contractions also move urine down the ureter to the bladder.
What causes movement of food inside the alimentary canal?
Peristalsis - the wavelike motion of the intestinal wall smooth muscles that push the food forward.
How is food moved along the alimentary canal?
The involuntary motion that moves food through the alimentary canal is called peristalsis and is a wavelike contraction and relaxation of the intestinal wall smooth muscles. It pushes food along the intestine.
Is Airbrush Propel safe to use on food?
no
Where are two other places that the food can go down?
muscles lining the esophagus move in a wavelike motion, oushing the food through the esophagus and into the stomach
