Textbook Question
Chapter 50.6, Problem 2CC
MAKE CONNECTIONS. Ø Peristalsis contributes to the locomotion of many annelids and to the movement of food in the digestive tract (see Concept 41.3). Using the muscles of your hand and a toothpaste tube as a model of peristalsis, how would your demonstration differ for the two processes?

. WHAT IF? Thinking in broad terms, what similaritiescan you identify between digestion in an animal bodyand the breakdown of gasoline in an automobile?(You don’t have to know about auto mechanics.)
23.
DXA imaging can provide data about regional body composition (i.e., where excess body fat is located). Describe why data about regional body composition can be useful in assessing a person's risk for chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
Clarification question in reference to this flashcard: does secretin inhibit peristaltic activity? How exactly does persitalsis relate to secretin?
