What term describes a series a wavelike contractions of the smooth muscles in a single direction?
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.

At the proximal end of the capillaries food particles enter the interstitial compartment. They go to each and every body cell. Body cells then utilize the food particles, as per need.

What takes place in lipid storage diseases?
In lipid storage diseases, enzymes that would ordinarily break down lipids so that they can be appropriately used are absent. This results in the progressive accumulation of large quantities of these lipids.
Proteases are enzymes that specifically digest proteins by breaking down peptide bonds between amino acids. Examples include pepsin in the stomach, trypsin in the small intestine, and papain in the stomach. These enzymes help in the breakdown of proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids for absorption in the body.

What part of the tongue can you not hit when piercing your own tongue?
Your veins. Do not try to pierce your own tongue. This is a very dangerous percing and cannot be done on everyone. My sister went to get her tongue professionally done and she was informed that she could not have it done because of the location of veins in her mouth. Only a professional body piercer would be able to tell you this personalized infromation. Also, there is a high risk of infection, and these can be extremely dangerous. Trust me, my friend did hers, no, dont do it yourself, she was put in the hospital. get it done profecinally -sp?- A friend of mine wanted to get her tongue pierced but the piercer said she didn't recommend it on her. Her tongue web was too close to the tip, meaning her piercing would've to be done very near the tip, and this would give her a lisp. ___________- I would like to add that while you cannot bleed to death you can damage veins and nerves to the point where your tongue will go numb. I would estimate that 90% of people would have no trouble with having it done (professionally), but you may be one of that 10% and need to see a professional in order to know. Also, the glands in your tongue and mouth are very sensitive and necessary, when you attempt these things on your own you risk damaging them (even just a pin prick) and causing your body permanent damage, shock is also a factor because of the pain of the procedure.
