Where peristalsis occur?
Peristalsis occurs mainly in the gastrointestinal tract, where it helps propel food along the digestive system through rhythmic contractions of the smooth muscle tissue in the walls of the organs, like the esophagus, stomach, and intestines.
How does a human esophagus work?
The esophagus is made up of smooth muscle tissue. To swallow food down to the stomach, the tissue that is above the food in the esophagus contracts while the tissue below it loosens, allowing food to slide down. This is all involuntary.Biology/Chemistry Major
How do proton pump inhibitors work?
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) work by reducing the production of stomach acid by blocking the proton pumps in the stomach lining. This helps in treating conditions such as acid reflux, gastritis, and ulcers by allowing the damaged tissue in the esophagus, stomach, or intestines to heal.
Can eating tissue be harmful?
Eating tissue, such as paper or napkins, can potentially cause harm as it is not intended for consumption. It can lead to digestive issues like blockages in the intestines or irritation of the stomach lining. It is important to avoid ingesting non-food items for the overall health of your digestive system.
What tissue organ and system are epithelial cells in?
Epithelial cells are found in epithelial tissue, which is a type of tissue that lines the surfaces and cavities of the body. Epithelial tissue is present in various organs throughout the body, such as the skin, lungs, stomach, and intestines. Epithelial cells play a role in protecting underlying tissues, regulating the passage of molecules, and providing sensory functions.
How does the muscularis layer of the esophagus differ from the rest of the digestive tract?
Within the stomach and intestines, there are three layers of muscular tissue. These need to withstand high pressures and force the food material through the digestive system. In the esophagus the muscular layer is much thinner. It is also smoother in the esophagus.

What forms lining of stomach and intestines?
columnar epithelium

Is stuff in your stomach and intestines considered outside your body?
No, because it in closed in by BODY TISSUE
What is the function smooth muscle tissue in your stomach?
Digestive organs
Which organs can Squamous tissue be found in?
Squamous epithelial tissue can be found in organs such as the skin, mouth, esophagus, and the lining of blood vessels and certain glands.
Why does your stomach have all 4 tissues?
the stomach needs the muscle tissue and the elastic tissue to stretch and digest the food. Connective Tissue: Is the blood in the walls of the stomach. Nervous Tissue: Controls acid production in the stomach. It also helps contract and coordinate stomach muscle. Epithelial Tissue: Protects the stomach against acid. It covers the inside of the stomach. It also has folds to increase surface area. Muscle Tissue: Mixes stomach contents and forces them towards the lower intestines. It is in between the epithelial tissue.
What is it called when food moves though the digestive system by a wave like motion?
Peristalsis. The smooth muscle tissue creates the waves in the esophagus and the intestines. That's why you can eat and drink while upsidedown and digestion continues when you lie down.
What tube through which food passes into the stomach?
The esophagus is the tube that brings food and liquids from your mouth to your stomach. “Benign” means it’s not cancerous. Benign esophageal stricture typically occurs when stomach acid and other irritants damage the lining of the esophagus over time. This leads to inflammation ( esophagitis) and scar tissue, which causes the esophagus to narrow.
What is soficus cancer?
You may have misheard what was said to you and probably mean the esophagus. The esophagus is the "food tube" leading from the throat to the stomach, and like any other tissue in the body, it can be susceptible to cancer.
What is mucous tissue called?
Mucous tissue is the membranes that line the structures and tracts of the body. Examples of this are in the nose, stomach and intestines, urinary bladder, mouth and eyelids.
