peristalsis
Peristalsis I think...
The esophagus (also spelled Oesophagus) is the tube that connects the mouth and the stomach. It works through continuous wavelike muscle contractions known as peristalsis, along with downward gravity, to move food and liquids from the mouth and throat into the stomach.
After passing through the pharynx, the food enters the esophagus, a muscular tube that connects the pharynx to the stomach. muscle contractions push the food through the esophagus and toward the stomach.
The esophagus takes the food from the mouth to the stomach. Food moves through the esophagus by peristalsis, which is muscle contractions the pushes the food downward. At the end of the esophagus is the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), which prevents food from re-entering the esophagus after it's reached the stomach.
Peristalsis is the process of wave-like muscular contractions that moves food down the esophagus into the stomach.Once it is in your throat,peristaltic actionmoves it up to your stomach
peristalsis.... the reason why food travels through the esophagus into the stomach is that it is moved along by contractions of smooth muscle surrounding the esophagus. This is known as peristalsis
The esophagus functions as a tube that connects the throat (pharynx) to the stomach. Its main function is to transport food and liquids from the mouth to the stomach through rhythmic contractions called peristalsis.
Different types of muscle contractions
Propulsion is the movement of food down the esophagus and peristalsis is the contractions in the stomach walls that moves food through the digestive tract.
yes
It goes through the pharynx (throat), esophagus, stomach, small intestine and large intestine.After food passes through the throat, it moves into the esophagus. The esophagus is a muscular tube that brings food to the stomach.
