DESCRIPTION:The pharynx of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a neurom
 uscular organ that exhibits typical pumping motions\, which result in the 
 intake of food particles from the environment. In our study\, the C. elega
 ns pharynx was modeled in a bottom–up fashion\, including all of the und
 erlying biological processes that lead to its end function\, food intake. 
 Mathematical modeling of all processes allowed performing comprehensive\, 
 quantitative analyses of the system as a whole. Our study exemplifies the 
 power of mathematical models\, which allow a more accurate\, higher-resolu
 tion inspection of the studied system\, and an easier and faster execution
  of in silico experiments than feasible in the lab.
