The esophagus moves food downward without performing any digestive functions.
Peristalsis moves food down the digestive track to keep it going, like a conveyor belt.
The esophagus moves food via peristalsis, but no digestion occurs in the esophagus. It connects the mouth and stomach.
Peristalsis is the wavelike motion of muscles that pushes food downward through the digestive tract. It helps propel food and liquids from the esophagus to the stomach and through the intestines for digestion and absorption.
Food moves from the mouth to the stomach through the esophagus. After swallowing, the esophagus uses a series of muscular contractions called peristalsis to propel the food downward. It connects the throat to the stomach, allowing for the passage of ingested food.
Peristalsis is a series of muscular contractions which moves food, in its various stages of digestion, through the alimentary canal.
It takes food from the throat and pushes it down through the neck, and into the stomach. It moves food by waves of muscle contraction called peristalsis.
After the food is processed in the stomach of a frog, the partially digested food moves into the small intestine for further digestion and absorption of nutrients.
