when your digesting your food does that mean that its involuntary or voluntary ?
369759
the digestive process starts in the mouth and then moves down into your digestive system. the only voluntary actions you create are the chewing and swallowing of food. the rest is involuntary, the digestion of foods in your stomach, wshich moves through your intestines and eventually you expell it from your bladder. \ninvoluntary just means that your body does it atomatically, like breathing in essecnce you dont control it. \nvolunatry is something you do control, such as walking.

Only if you feel guilty after eating it. If not, it goes straight to your hips.

You lose the ability to control voluntary movements. Depending on the amount and place of damage it may eventually effect your lungs and or heart. Keep in mind your heart is a muscle and you chest wall is full of muscles that allow you to inhale and exhale. As for your muscles that control movement they become flaccid . Anything that is considered to function by voluntary or involuntary movement may be affected depending on the kind of damage. Keep in mind only your physician can determine the extent of damage that will occur depending on diagnosis. Hope to have helped.

peristalsis is the rhythmic contraction of your oesophagus moving the bite of food down.  If there is air trapped, it can cause an "in-burp".  maybe that is what you are hearing.

your body absorbes the liquid from the food you eat...waste is then produced...aka poo :)

Peristalsis is the process of involuntary wave-like successive muscular contractions by which food is moved through the digestive tract. The large, hollow organs of the digestive system contain muscles that enable their walls to move. The movement of organ walls can propel food and liquid and also can mix the contents within each organ. Typical movement of the esophagus, stomach, and intestine is called peristalsis. The action of peristalsis looks like an ocean wave moving through the muscle. The muscle of the organ produces a narrowing and then propels the narrowed portion slowly down the length of the organ. These waves of narrowing push the food and fluid in front of them through each hollow organ.\n\nThe process of peristalsis is used by peristaltic pumps.\n\nPeristalsis is also used at oviducts, ureters and other tube-like organs.\n\nIn the digestive tract, the muscularis externa (which consists of circular and longitudinal muscle) propels the material along the alimentary canal. During a peristaltic movement, the circular muscles contract behind the digested material; then a contraction of the longitudinal muscle follows which pushes the digested food further along the esophagus. (These peristaltic movements also occur in the large and small intestines.)\n\nThe word is derived from New Latin and comes from the Greek peristaltikos, peristaltic, from peristellein, "to wrap around," and stellein, "to place."\n\nAs opposed to the more continuous peristalsis of the small intestines, fecal contents are propelled into the large intestine by periodic Mass Movements. These mass movements occur anywhere from 1-3 times per day, occur in the large intestines and colon, and help propel the contents from the large intestine, through the colon, to the rectum.

OK SERIOUS ANSWER HERE!!!\n\nThere are 2 systems in our bodies.  Voluntary and Involutary..\n\nVoluntary: is your nervous system... i.e. When you are breathing really slow your heart doesn't need as much oxygen so it slows down.. When you are breathing really fast there is more oxygen so your heart beats faster..\n\nInvoluntary: Anything that is coltroled by your actions rather than on its own.. i.e. walking, talking, reading, etc. \n\nWhen you have to think about something It makes the switch from Voluntary to Involutary..\n\nThis is the reasoning behind your being able to conrtol your heartbeat..

very interesting...i think that if your head got severed off, you would stop vomiting immediately because your body obviously has bigger issues to deal with now.  i guess it's kinda like when your hiccups magically go away when someone scares you, or when you forget about them.  it's an uncontrollable bodily function that i think can be "side-tracked away."  wish we could test this one...send it in to Mythbusters...

Yogas and Zen Buddhists do it all the time...It's called mind over matter (in this case matter is the body).  It's the ability to control involuntary bodily functions (shivering, peristalsis, etc.) by concentration.  How? Many years of training and complete concentration.

Drink water. I know you are stuffed, but drinking water will help break up the food more, allowing it to digest easier and a little quicker. Plus it will helpit "pass" quicker.

involuntary actions are muscle reactions that occur within your body that you cannot control.  If you can't stop it by thinking about it---it is an invouluntary action.\n\nExamples:\nHeart Beating\nBreathing\nDigestion\nRegulation of Temperature\nOrgan Activity

It's much harder to control your bowel movement than your urinary release because in your rectum you have the external sphincter (which is voluntary) and the internal sphincter (involuntary), the space in between them is not alot of space and therefore the need to empty it is greater due to the involuntary sphincter.  in the urinary tract, the release is almost completely voluntary!

Eating is usually a way of suppressing something that is bothering you.  Find out what you are stressing about, work on that and your hunger will subside.  Sounds weird but is true.

if you eat slower the body can relay the full signal to the brain before a person overstuffs themselves. Eat too fast and you can overstuff yourself before the brain gets the full signal.

Nothing, it's your digestive system digesting your food.

Your digestive system is at work all the time and normally during the day you're eating at more or less regular intervals so there's food in your stomach to be digested.\n\nAfter a nights sleep there's likely to be little left to digest so you get feelings of hunger.\n\nPartly it will depend on what you eat - a 'heavy' meal high in fats and proteins for example, will take longer to digest than a 'light' meal such as a salad.

The heart is an involuntary muscle, which means it moves without your conscious control over it.\nYour leg muscles are voluntary muscles, which means they move when you consciously intend for them to move.
