What is the name of the process by which food material moves along the alimentary canal?
When we swallow, food is moved down into the stomach from the mouth. This is peristalsis, and it's a rhythmic contraction of smooth muscles. A link can be found below for more information.
A drug that decreases peristalsis would be one that?
decreases contraction in the smooth muscle
Which layer of the alimentary canal is responsible for segmentation and peristalsis?
the smooth muscles are responsible for perstalsis and segmentation, so that means its the muscularis externa. :)
What muscular system is made up of cell that are long thin and pointed?
Smooth muscle, found in bowel for peristalsis for example
What moves food from the mouth by muscular waves?
peristalsis.... the reason why food travels through the esophagus into the stomach is that it is moved along by contractions of smooth muscle surrounding the esophagus. This is known as peristalsis
Smooth muscle propels food through the alimentary canal by a process called?
The process in which muscles propel food through the alimentary canal is called peristalsis.
What is The layer of the digestive tract wall that is responsible for peristalsis?
the part of the alimentary canal responsible for peristalsis is the oesophagus or the food pipe.by wave like movements of the smooth muscles on the wall of the food pipe the food is sent to the stomach.
Propulsive waves of smooth muscle contraction?
It is called peristalsis
What is the mixing of substance in the alimentary canal?
Smooth Muscle in the wall of the alimentary canal can contract to produce two types of movements 1. Churning: Churning Mixes substances in the canal 2. Peristalsis: Propels substances through the body.
Is a principal function of smooth muscle peristalsis?
Yes
What is the type of contraction that Peristalsis is seen in?
smooth muscle
Which type of muscle is responsible for peristalsis along to digestive tract?
smooth muscle
What type of muscle undergoes peristalsis?
Peristalsis involves circular smooth muscles and longitudinal smooth muscles in the effort to produce waves of contractions in a tube. This process is used in digestion to move the food (bolus) through the esophagus and the chyme (partially digested food) through the intestines.
Peristalsis is example of what type of muscle?
Peristalsis is the contraction of the digestive muscles. Peristalsis is the contractions that occur in the smooth muscles of the body.
What are the wave of muscle contractions that pushes food through the digestive system?
Smooth muscle in the walls of the digestive tract contract and form a movement called peristalsis.
What refers to the rythmic wave of contraction of smooth muscle?
Peristalsis
Peristalsis the squeezing action of the digestive muscles is an example of this type of muscle?
the smooth muscle
