<span>Peristaltic movement is a type of muscle contraction and it functions in the esophagus by helping push food to it. Peristalsis, involuntary movements of the longitudinal and circular muscles, primarily in the digestive tract but occasionally in other hollow tubes of the body, that occur in progressive wavelike contractions.</span>

Peristaltic movement is the constriction and relaxation of longitudinal muscles in the gastrointestinal tract in the esophagus, stomach, and the small intestines. It occurs in a wavelike constriction resulting to a process called peristalsis. In the esophagus the movement helps push food in form of bolus (small rounded mass of food) to it.

Who devised a technique for determining the blood group of a dried bloodstain, which he applied to criminal investigations?.
SVEN [57.7K]

Leone Lattes devised a technique for determining the blood group of a dried bloodstain, which he applied to criminal investigations.

An easy technique for identifying the blood type of a dried bloodstain was invented in 1915 by the Italian scientist Leone Lattes.

In 1939–1940, the Rh blood group system—which divides blood into groups depending on whether the Rh antigen is present or not—was created. Since then, more than a hundred various blood factors have been identified.

These characteristics can be utilized to pinpoint the particular groups to which possible suspects may belong because they show up unevenly in the population.

As different blood factors are identified in a sample, the proportion of individuals who have that particular combination of factors decreases and the sample becomes more unique.

Within a neuron, information typically flows in which directional order? science forum
arsen [322]
Neurons are cells of the nervous system that aid the flow of impulses or information to and from the CNS. The major neurons include the sensory neuron, motor neuron and the relay neurons. It comprises of various parts that aid its function of carrying information namely, axon, dendrites, cell body (soma), myelin sheath. Information is picked up from the dendrites and then transferred to the cell body through action potentials. Then from the cell body the information is taken to the axon which then goes to the pre-synaptic terminal that sends the information to the next neuron which will then repeat the same flow of information.
