Peristalsis only occurs in the esophagus. a) is a condition wherein the lining of the digestive tract is irritated by the passage of rough fibrous material. b) is waves of muscular contractions that move along the length of the digestive tract. c) is a muscular movement pattern that occurs in regions of the digestive tract where the smooth muscle fibers are not arranged in layers.

b) is waves of muscular contractions that move along the length of the digestive tract.

Explanation:

a) is not right, since the movement is triggered by a signal sent to the brain, which coordinates the movements.

c) is not right, since the esophagus smooth muscle is arranged in circular and longitudinal muscle layers.

NOTE: the peristalsis do not only ocurrs in the esophagus. It also occurs in all the digestive tract, as well as in the bile conducts and also in the urinary system, to conduct the urine from the kidneys to the bladder.

question#1

ans:

cell is the basic unit of organization of all living things. cells are often called the building block of life and it is the smallest unit of life. the study of cell is called cell biology. cell consists of cytoplasm enclosed within membrane, which contain bio-molecules such as proteins and nucleic acid.

two third of cell is water, which means that two-third of your whole body is water. the rest is the mixture of molecules, mainly proteins, lipids and carbohydrates.

question#2

ans:

organ:

an organ is a group of tissues specialized to form a functional unit. an example is the heart in animals.

organ system:

an organ system is a group of several organs whose functions are synchronized to release an effective action in a living organism. an example is digestive system.

question#3

different systems perform different function at tissue level. for example, the respiratory system facilitates breathing. in the alveoli tissue of the lungs, the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules between the air and the bloodstream occurs by passive transport, so that oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide and water are removed. different systems of the body carry out different functions. for example, your digestive system is responsible for taking in and processing food, while your respiratory system working with your circulatory system is responsible for taking up oxygen and getting rid of carbon dioxide.

question#5

our body works because of the interactions that happen between organs and organ systems.  

for example:  

the heart to regulate blood flow throughout the body. the blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the cells and carries carbon dioxide and waste away from the cells. body systems work together in maintaining a constant internal environment. when this balance is disrupted, the body systems may not function properly, and human health can suffer.   you start to feel bad.
