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.

The divisions of the nervous system that have antagonistic actions, or opposing actions are A) motor and sensory. B) sympathetic
Effectus [21]

Answer:

B) sympathetic and parasympathetic

Explanation:

e autonomic nervous system also called the vegetative nervous system is part of the peripheral nervous system which inervates  smooth muscle and glands. Thus, it directly affects the function of internal organs and  regulates  functions such as the heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate,  urination etc. This nervous system control is  unconscious.

The autonomic nervous system is divided into: the sympathetic nervous system, the parasympathetic nervous system and the enteric nervous system.

Parasympathetic nervous system works when organism is at rest so it is known as system responsible for "rest and digest functions". On the other hand, sympathetic nervous system works at active and stressful situations and it is known as "fight and flight" system.
