Answers:
The digestive system is, in essence, a long tube that starts at the mouth and ends at the anus!. This tube connects with the various organs and passages that play important roles in digestion!. One of the most important things to know about the digestive system is the manner in which it propels food!. Waves of muscle contractions move and push the contents continually downward in a process called peristalsis!. In addition to moving your meal along its digestive path, these contractions also help churn food, liquid and different digestive juices together, rendering them into a gooey mix known as chyme!.

Stomach growling is the result of this process!. Moving with those solid and liquid chyme ingredients are gasses and air!. As all these ingredients get pushed around and broken down into easy-to-absorb bits, pockets of air and gas also get squeezed and create the noises we hear!. Stomach growling can happen at any time -- not just when you're hungry -- but if there's food in your stomach or small intestine, the growling becomes quieter!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
