What is the saclike organ at the end of the esophagus called?
Did you mean 'bag like organ' The stomach is part of the digestive system, which is sometimes called the gastrointestinal tract. It is a muscular, bag-like organ which lies between the lower end of the gullet (oesophagus) and the beginning of the small bowel (small intestine). Once food has been swallowed it passes down the gullet and into the stomach. Both ends of the esophagus are closed off by muscular constrictions known as sphincters; at the anterior, or upper, end is the upper esophageal sphincter, and at the distal, or lower, end is the lower esophageal sphincter. The cardia (also known as Z-line or esophagogastric junction or gastroesophageal junction) is the anatomical term for the junction orifice of the stomach and the esophagus. At the cardia, the mucosa of the esophagus transitions into gastric mucosa. The cardia is also the site of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) (also termed cardiac sphincter, gastroesophageal sphincter, and esophageal sphincter).
The muscular ridges found inside the stomach are called?
Rugae
The esophagus and trachea are both open to the?
The esophagus and trachea open into the throat and mouth.
A muscular tube that connects the mouth and the stomach is called .?

Food from the esophagus empties into a large muscular sac called what?
This large, muscular sac is called the stomach.
What is the muscular sac between the mouth and esophagus called?

What happens to food in the esophagus?
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.
How does the esophagus work?
The esophagus is a muscular tube that connects the throat to the stomach. When you swallow, muscles in the esophagus contract to push food down towards the stomach through a series of coordinated muscle movements called peristalsis. The esophageal sphincter at the lower end of the esophagus opens to allow food to enter the stomach and then closes to prevent backflow.
Which food pipe runs from the mouth to the stomach?

What is the name of the valve that prevents regurgitation of food from the small intestine back into the stomach?

What moves food from the mouth by muscular waves?
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
