| Waves of muscle contractions called peristalsis force food down through the esophagus to the stomach. |
|
| The initial colonization of the walls of the ureter is in areas of turbulent flow which leads to paralysis of peristalsis. |
|
| The normal esophagus responds immediately with a reflexive peristaltic contraction, a phenomenon called secondary peristalsis. |
|
| A second, less-frequent muscle contraction, isthmus peristalsis, transports bacteria from the corpus to the terminal bulb. |
|
| The pumps operate on the theory of peristalsis as is commonly seen in the human digestive system. |
|
| Yoga helps your body reabsorb and expel gas by stimulating peristalsis, the muscle contractions that eliminate waste. |
|
| Capsule endoscopy uses a wireless video capsule that is swallowed by the patient and propelled by peristalsis. |
|
| Very preterm infants, who often have relatively delayed gastric emptying and intestinal peristalsis, may be slow to tolerate the introduction of gastric tube feeds. |
|
| Old, toxic fecal matter and incrustation including mucus, begin to break loose, thereafter increasing peristalsis and water assimilation. |
|
| The sucking is done by peristalsis, waves of muscular contraction that move along the tube from the mouth toward the gut. |
|
| Muscular tube that transports food by peristalsis from the pharynx to the stomach. |
|
| Description: Licorice increases the intestine movement, it stimulates enzymes and peristalsis. |
|
| Sporting activity and relaxation activate normal intestinal peristalsis and lead to a massive improvement of the symptoms. |
|
| Psyllium seed husk consists almost exclusively of hemicellulose which acts like a sponge in the intestine, improving the consistency of stools, promoting peristalsis and facilitating intestinal transit. |
|
| Ginger increases intestinal muscle tone by activating peristalsis. |
|
| However, the likelihood may increase for pathologic conditions inhibiting intestinal peristalsis and promoting intra-luminal and submucosal gas collections. |
|
| No significant inhibition of normal peristalsis has been observed. |
|
| The fact that these symptoms occur well into these extended events suggests that dehydration or electrolyte imbalance is affecting peristalsis. |
|
| Once in the small intestine, the balloon served as the lead point with peristalsis generating the intussusception. |
|
| The stomach was filled with curdled milk, possibly due to reduced intestinal peristalsis. |
|
|
|
| Cloves are used as a carminative, to increase hydrochloric acid in the stomach and to improve peristalsis. |
|
| After it is swallowed, it takes video images of the small intestine as peristalsis moves it through the small and large intestines. |
|
| It binds opioid receptors in the wall of intestine, inhibits release of acetylcholine and prostaglandins hereby reducing peristalsis, increases time needed for the food to pass through intestines. |
|
| Hydrocodone may inhibit peristalsis, and patients with chronic constipation should be given Tussionex only after weighing the potential therapeutic benefit against the hazards involved. |
|
| Functionally, it is believed that serotonin diffuses out of the argentaffin cells into the walls of the digestive tract, where neurons leading to the muscles are stimulated to produce the wavelike contractions of peristalsis. |
|
| Since it is the contractility of peristalsis within the ureter that propels urine downward from the kidney into the bladder, stasis of urine in the ureter is accentuated during the pregnancy. |
|
| Achalasia is a condition in which there is loss of peristalsis of the smooth muscle of the esophagus, and failure of relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter. |
