<span>The answer would be: a. inflammation is accompanied by an increase in peristaltic movements of his small intestine.

The pathogen will attract the white blood cells that will induce inflammation in the intestine. Inflammation of the intestine will cause increased permeability and increased bowel movement, makes the food transit time reduced and lead to diarrhoea. This mechanism is beneficial since it can help the intestine to "flush out" pathogen of toxins that induce the inflammation.</span>

The passage of the bolus through the esophagus to the stomach occurs by peristalsis, a series of wave-like muscle contractions.

bija089 [108]
Okay, I googled it because I wasn’t sure but, according to the article *ahem* “Destructive as forest fires may seem, forests often regrow in their wake. In some cases, however, forest fires become so intense they cause severe damage to the soil that may take years or even decades to repair”.
