Health
1 answer:
andreev551 [17]4 years ago
7 0
Peristalsis is a series of wave-like muscle contractions that moves food to different processing stations in the digestive tract. The process of peristalsis begins in the esophagus when a bolus of food is swallowed. The strong wave-like motions of the smooth muscle in the esophagus carry the food to the stomach, where it is churned into a liquid mixture called chyme.

I am Lyosha [343]
A misconception commonly used when violence occurs in a dating relationship is that "he/she only hits me because he/she loves me". This however is not true. In a relationship, one will not abuse their partner out of love. it is not affectionate. it is purely out of rage, anger, low self-esteem, or upsetting circumstances.

AysviL [449]
The main responsibilities for all food businesses under the Act are:

to ensure you do not include anything in food, remove anything from food or treat food in any way which means it would be damaging to the health of people eating it
to ensure that the food you serve or sell is of the nature, substance or quality which consumers would expect
to ensure that the food is labelled, advertised and presented in a way that is not false or misleading
The guidance, which can be found at the link below, takes account of amendments to the Act in the General Food Regulations 2004 and the Food Safety Act 1990 (Amendment) Regulations 2004.
