Why is the gizzard ruogh and tough organ?
The gizzard is a muscular organ found in birds that helps with mechanical digestion. It is tough and rough due to the thick muscular walls that grind and break down food particles. This muscular action helps birds to effectively digest their food since they lack teeth for chewing.
What is the muscular organ that changes food into thick soupy liquid?
The muscular organ that changes food into a thick soupy liquid is the stomach. It uses powerful muscular contractions and gastric juices to break down food, mixing it into a semi-liquid form called chyme. This process aids in digestion before the chyme moves into the small intestine for further nutrient absorption.
What is the function of a muscular pharynx?
The function of the pharynx is to transfer food to the mouth to the esphagus and warm, and moiston and filter air before it moves into the trachea.
Describe and explain the difference in muscularity between the crop and the gizzard?
The crop is a muscular pouch in the digestive system of birds that stores and moistens food before digestion, while the gizzard is a muscular organ that grinds and breaks down food using grit or small stones ingested by the bird. The crop is responsible for storage and initial breakdown of food, while the gizzard's main function is mechanical digestion to further break down tough food particles.
What is an pharynx?
Food enters the mouth. The pharynx acts as a suction pump; its muscular walls draw in food. In the pharynx, the pharyngeal glands secrete mucus.
What is a muscular tube that squeezes food down to the stomach?
The esophagus is a tube made of smooth muscle. It carries food from throat to stomach. The muscular movements of peristalsis moves the food downward, as well as by gravity. However, you can be upside down and food will still get to the stomach.
What happens to larynx during swallowing?
The epiglottis closes (to stop food going into the lungs) and the muscular walls contract to push the food down the oesophagus.
What is the muscular contraction called that moves food through the stomach?
peristalsis
What is the muscular movement that moves food through out the digestive system?
Peristalsis.

What organ does food move through on its way to stomach?
Food moves through the esophagus on its way to the stomach. It is a muscular tube that connects the mouth to the stomach and uses peristalsis to push food down.
What do you name the muscular action that moves food through the digestive system?
Peristalsis
How does the food move down toward the stomach?
A series of muscular contractions, which squeeze the alimentary canal, called peristalsis, are what moves food all the way through the alimentary canal, from beginning to end.
What name is given to the muscular contraction which moves food along the alimantary canal?
Peristalsis
Which two actions help to propel a bolus of food through the digestive tract?
Propulsion is the movement of food down the esophagus and peristalsis is the contractions in the stomach walls that moves food through the digestive tract.
What is the function of a muscular pharynx?
The function of the pharynx is to transfer food to the mouth to the esphagus and warm, and moiston and filter air before it moves into the trachea.
What process moves materials threw the small intestine?
Perastalsis, the wave of muscular contractions that moves food through the entire digestive system.
