| 1. | Conversely, parasympathetic stimulation causes contraction of the circular muscle and constriction of the pupil.
|
| 2. | The skin contains bands of circular muscle which as they contract, push fluid up.
|
| 3. | Ampullae contain both circular muscles and longitudinal muscle, whereas the podia contain the latter only.
|
| 4. | The circular muscle layer prevents food from travelling backward and the longitudinal layer shortens the tract.
|
| 5. | There are also circular muscles, contraction of which cause the animal to elongate and the introvert to extend.
|
| 6. | Vegetotherapy relies on a theory of stored emotions, or stress ( particularly in the circular muscles ), and low libido.
|
| 7. | Doliolids also have circular muscles, the sudden contraction of which cause them to move rapidly in a characteristic jerky manner.
|
| 8. | During contraction of sphincter / circular muscles, the lumen ( opening ) associated with the sphincter constricts ( closes ).
|
| 9. | Contractions of the circular muscles lengthen the organism s body, while contractions of the longitudinal muscles shorten the organism s body.
|
| 10. | This process is carried out by the longitudinal muscles relaxing while circular muscles contract at alternating sections thereby mixing the food.
