Health
1 answer:
andreev551 [17]3 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.

Why are hair permanents not Permanent??
Galina-37 [17]
The chemicals used only last for a short time, usually about 6 months, although this varies from person to person.  So colour or curl will 'fall' out after a while. 

Even if the process was permanent, your hair continues to grow, so the colour or curl will not be in the hair coming out of your scalp.

The term, 'permanent' was invented because this treatment lasts a lot longer than a rinse or hair curlers.
