What else can I help you with?
What forces food into pharynx so that it can glide easily down esophagus?
A number of things are involved in moving food into the pharynx so goes down into the esophagus. The tube is lubricated with mucus, the tongue helps push the food further and the smooth muscle lining the tract also pushes the food down.
How does the esophagus help move food through the digestive system?
peristalsis is a muscle that helps food to get through the oesphagus
What muscle brings the food down to esophagus?
That would be the upper and lower esophogeal sphincters.
What is peristaltic movement and how does it function in the esophagus?
The peristaltic movements are muscle contractions and its function on the esophagus is to push food down into the stomach and prevent it from going back into the esophagus.
What helps push food down the back of your mouth?
That would be the esophagus.
What is the function of osephagus?
the ESOPHAGUS is a tube in the throat which food goes down when you swallow. (swallowing is mostly involuntary because the esophagus is made of smooth muscle, a type of muscle that works without control of the brain.) The food goes down into the stomach. On the top half of the esophagus is a sphincter, as well as on the bottom half. they help close off the esophagus.
What role does the muscle between the esophagus and stomach play in the process of digestion?
The muscle between the esophagus and stomach, called the lower esophageal sphincter, helps control the flow of food and liquids into the stomach. It opens to allow food to enter the stomach and then closes to prevent stomach contents from flowing back up into the esophagus. This helps prevent acid reflux and aids in the digestion process by keeping food in the stomach where it can be broken down by stomach acids and enzymes.
What is the muscle action that pushes food down the esophagus and through the intestines called?
It is called deglutition.
What makes sure the food goes down your esophagus?
The process of swallowing ensures that food goes down the esophagus. When you swallow, a series of coordinated muscle contractions called peristalsis moves the food bolus from the throat into the esophagus. Additionally, a flap of tissue called the epiglottis prevents food from entering the windpipe, directing it instead toward the esophagus. This combination of muscle action and anatomical structures ensures that food reaches the stomach efficiently.
How is the connection between the esophagus and stomach important for the process of digestion?
The connection between the esophagus and stomach is important for digestion because it allows food to pass from the mouth to the stomach. The esophagus helps move food down through a series of muscle contractions called peristalsis, and the stomach then begins to break down the food with digestive enzymes and acids. This connection ensures that food is properly processed and absorbed in the digestive system.
What happens to food when it goes down the esophagus?
the food is then forced down the esophagus.
How does help juices in deigestion?
It push your food down the esophagus when it get suck down your throat it helps go down.
