The information here should only be a guideline. Your doctor may provide you with other advise and your baby may have ideas of her own.For the first four to six months of your baby's first year all she will need is breast milk or formula. During this time she should start to be introduced to solids when she is ready.
The small intestine is the 'work horse' of digestion, as this is where most nutrients are absorbed. Peristalsis is also at work in this organ, moving food through and mixing it up with the digestive secretions from the pancreas and liver, including bile.ood is pushed through the esophagus and into the stomach by means of a series of contractions called peristalsis. Just before the opening to the stomach is an important ring-shaped muscle called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES).
Posted on. (Answer #1). Food that has been churned in the stomach and mixed with gastric juices and hydrochloric acid, is known as chyme. Rhythmic involuntary muscle contractions of the digestive tract, known as peristalsis, move chyme along to the small intestine.The structure that regulates the passage of chyme into the small intestine is called the pyloric sphincter or valve.As chyme with its acidic ph enters the duodenum, the upper portion of the small intestine,it becomes neutralized.By the time the chyme has been acted upon by bile and pancreatic juice, as well as intestinal juice, the process of digestion is complete inside the small intestine.osted on.
