What are the wavelike contractions of smooth muscle that move food down the esophagus called

Answer 1

Explanation:Answer:

Reorder the terms:

8 + 6p + -4p = 3(p + 4)

Combine like terms: 6p + -4p = 2p

8 + 2p = 3(p + 4)

Reorder the terms:

8 + 2p = 3(4 + p)

8 + 2p = (4 * 3 + p * 3)

8 + 2p = (12 + 3p)

Solving

8 + 2p = 12 + 3p

Solving for variable 'p'.

Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3p' to each side of the equation.

8 + 2p + -3p = 12 + 3p + -3p

Combine like terms: 2p + -3p = -1p

8 + -1p = 12 + 3p + -3p

Combine like terms: 3p + -3p = 0

8 + -1p = 12 + 0

8 + -1p = 12

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.

8 + -8 + -1p = 12 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0

0 + -1p = 12 + -8

-1p = 12 + -8

Answer 2

When you swallow food, it doesn't just drop down into your stomach. Muscles contract in a wave-like motion to move the food along through the esophagus. This muscle movement is called, peristalsis, or peristaltic waves. These peristaltic waves contract behind the food bolus pushing it along the digestive tract.
