Muscle tissue helps your stomach digest food by?
The correct answer is churning
Digestion involves the transformation of ingested food into simpler, absorbable molecules. Muscle tissue aids in the process of digestion by performing various mechanical actions. In the stomach, smooth muscle tissue present in the walls undergoes a process called churning or peristalsis. During peristalsis, the stomach muscles contract and relax in a coordinated manner, mixing and pushing the food mass towards the small intestine. The powerful contractions of the stomach muscles facilitate the digestion process by breaking down larger food particles into smaller ones, increasing the surface area for enzymatic action and nutrient absorption in the subsequent stages of digestion.
