Name the parts of the digestive system which acts like a speed bump to control the movement of food in our alimentary canal.

Biology

Answer:

circular folds

Explanation:

The movement of food in the body's alimentary canal <em>(the passage of food from the mouth towards the anus) </em>is aided by "peristalsis."

"Peristalsis" is an involuntary movement of the circular and longitudinal muscles found within the digestive tract. This movement occurs in the <u>esophagus, stomach and small intestine.</u>

Along the<em> jejunal intestinal wall</em> are the "circular folds." These folds are thick and stretches towards the "lumen." They function as speed bump control by slowing down the food passage and increasing the surface area necessary for <em>absorption</em>. After being absorbed, they will then be moved forward toward the large intestine.

So, this explains the answer.

A piece of metal will feel colder than a piece of wood at the same temperature.why?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Even though they are the same temperature, the metal will feel colder than the wood because of the thermal conductivity of the metal, compared to the wood. Metal is a good conductor of heat, hence it sends away the heat. On the other hand, wood is a poor conductor of heat, hence releases the heat too slowly.
