Peristalsis ends at the lower esophageal sphincter also known as the cardiac sphincter. This sphincter is located at the junction between the starting of the stomach and the end of the esophagus.
The pharynx has 3 cavities:
1. Nasopharynx extending from base of skull to soft palate and act as the passage for air.
2. Oropharynx extending from soft palate to epiglottis and act as the passage for air and food
3. Laryngopharynx extending from upper border of epiglottis to lower border of cricoid cartilage and act as the passage for food.
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
Assuming you are eating, the act or chewing is mastication and swallowing is peristalsis. Vomiting is reverse peristalsis.
MOUTH
The muscular layer in the ureters uses peristalsis to move the urine along to the urinary bladder
"Peristalsis"
Peristalsis is a series of involuntary smooth muscle contractions along the walls of the digestive tract that move food through the digestive tractperistalsis

Peristalsis.
The process in which muscles propel food through the alimentary canal is called peristalsis.
The food goes right through the digestive system from one end to the other, and is egested in the faeces.
achalasia (absent or ineffective peristalsis)
this is called Peristalsis
Peristalsis is the contraction of the digestive muscles. Peristalsis is the contractions that occur in the smooth muscles of the body.
Peristalsis is the term for the wavelike motions of the esophagus.
Peristalsis. The process of peristalsis begins in the esophagus when a bolus of food is swallowed. The strong wave-like motions of the smooth muscle in the esophagus carry the food to the stomach, where it is churned into a liquid mixture called chyme.
Smooth muscle in the walls of the digestive tract contract and form a movement called peristalsis.
