What do the longitudinal muscle do in the ileum?
The longitudinal muscle in the ileum helps to provide support and structure to the intestinal wall, allowing for peristalsis and movement of food and waste through the digestive tract. It also aids in the mixing and propulsion of intestinal contents.
Why does the oesophagus have circular and longitudinal muscles?
The circular muscles in the esophagus help with peristalsis, the wave-like contractions that push food downward. The longitudinal muscles aid in the stretching and shortening of the esophagus during swallowing. This dual muscle arrangement allows for efficient movement of food along the digestive tract.
What and what are there in the counsanant sound?
Consonant sounds are speech sounds produced by obstructing the airflow in the vocal tract. They are characterized by the presence of a constriction or closure in the vocal tract, which differentiates them from vowel sounds. Examples of consonant sounds include /b/, /t/, /s/, and /m/.
What type of white matter fiber tract connects the two cerebral hemispheres?
The corpus callosum is the major white matter fiber tract that connects the two cerebral hemispheres, allowing communication and coordination between the left and right halves of the brain.
What are the consunants sounds?
Consonant sounds are produced when airflow is restricted in some way as it passes through the vocal tract. This can involve the use of the lips, tongue, teeth, or other parts of the mouth to create various sounds. Consonant sounds contrast with vowel sounds, which are produced with an open vocal tract.
What is the difference between gracile tract and cuneate tract?
They both carry proprioceptive and fine touch sensations. But, gracile tract carries sensations from lower halfof our body. On the other hand, cuneate tract carries sensations from upper half of our body.
What is the function of lateral spinothalamic tract?
The function of this tract is to detect pain.
Which fiber tract carries impulses from the cerebrum to lower CNS areas?
The corticospinal tract carries impulses from the cerebrum to lower CNS areas, primarily to control voluntary movements throughout the body. It is involved in motor function and helps in coordinating muscle movements.
If the name of a spinal tract begins with the root spino-?
If the name of a spinal tract begins with the root "spino-," it typically indicates that the tract is involved in transmitting sensory information from the spinal cord to the brain. For example, the spinothalamic tract carries pain and temperature sensations, while the spinocerebellar tract conveys proprioceptive information to the cerebellum. Essentially, "spino-" suggests a pathway that originates in the spinal cord.
Does paralyzis happen when the spinothalamic tract is severed?
Paralysis does not typically result from severing the spinothalamic tract, as this tract carries sensory information related to pain and temperature. Motor paralysis, which involves voluntary muscle movement, is usually associated with damage to the corticospinal tract, which is responsible for transmitting motor signals from the brain to the spinal cord.
Which tract carries fine touch and vibration to the cerebral cortex?
The dorsal column-medial lemniscal. (The Fasciculus gracilis and the Fasciculus cuneatus). Responsible for: Discriminative (fine) touch, vibratory sense, position sense. <http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/patestas/chapters/10.pdf>
What is the strongest muscle in the GI tract organ?
The stomach has the thickest walls and the strongest muscle in all the GI tract organs. : )
What is the fiber tract that carries impulses to the cerebrum and then to the lower CNS called?
The fiber tract that carries impulses to the cerebrum and then to the lower CNS is called the corticospinal tract. It is involved in voluntary motor control and starts from the primary motor cortex in the cerebrum and descends to the spinal cord.
The type of muscle that is found in digestive tract and blood vessels?
smooth muscle
What type of muscle tissue is found within the digestive system?
Smooth muscle tissue is located in the wall of the digestive tract.
The type of muscle that is found in the digestive tract and blood vessels?
Smooth muscle
What part of digestive tract carries food to the esophagus?
the throat
