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.
1 is connected also the cardiac muscles are the only of its kind to make the heart move and pump blood to where it needs to go. smooth muscles are conected to the bones.
a voluntary muscle is a muscle that move when you tell it toMuscles in our hands (skeletal muscle) are called voluntary, because these muscles act according to the impulses (orders) given by our conscious brain.Heart (cardiac muscle) is an example of an involuntary muscle. It works all the time with impulses from our brain stem, which is involuntary.some more examples of voluntary muscles in our body are, muscles of the chest, neck, abdomen, etc. and those of involuntary muscles are, muscles of the digestive system, smooth muscles etc.
No, all human bodies have the same muscles.
arms= guns and guns are muscles so muscles like biceps
Spastic movement refers to involuntary muscle contractions that result in stiffness and tightness, often affecting coordination and control. This condition is commonly associated with neurological disorders such as cerebral palsy, where the signals from the brain to the muscles are disrupted. As a result, individuals may experience difficulty in performing smooth and controlled movements, leading to a jerky or rigid gait. Treatment options often include physical therapy and medications to manage symptoms.
peristalsis
Peristalsis
peristalsis
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.
Involuntary contractions of the muscles, classically the long muscles associated with standing (the anti-gravity muscles).
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.

the heart
Heart Contractions
Muscles are metabolically active. Contractions of muscles cost ATP. So there are many mitochondria
Fasiculations, twitches, contractures (if sustained), contractions, convulsions, seizures, myoclonus to name a few.
Peristalsis - the wavelike motion of the intestinal wall smooth muscles that push the food forward.
