Well, your food is in your mouth, then it gets formed into a boli, which is a ball of food. Then the tongue pushes the boli down the esophogus where it starts to do a wave like motion called the peristalsis. Since it relies on the Digestive system, it is involuntary. So, the esophogus transfers the food down to the stomach, to the small intestine, to the large intestine, and finally down to the anus.
