Question

If you eat food while hanging upside down do think it will still go through the alimentary canal ?give reasons

Answer 1

If we are standing upside down the food will definitely go through the alimentary canal.

We know that oesophagus or food pipe show peristaltic movement or peristalis. Because of this process the food will go down the alimentary canal.

Peristalis is the contraction and relaxation of the walls of food pipe which pushes the food down in alimentary canal.

Hope this helps you:)

Answer 2

Answer:

Yes, the food will go through the alimentary canal

Explanation:

This is because our alimentary canal or oesophagus shows the peristaltic movement which is the contradiction and relaxation of muscles which create wave like movements pushing the contents in the canal down.

But the food doesn't go deep enough due to the gravitational pull and comes out either through our nose or mouth.
