Keep in mind that the food is getting smaller. The food swirls down the small intestine into the large intestine. It goes throughout the whole entire large intestine and to the colon. Then you need to go to the bathroom. It takes up 10 HOURS to do all that

These muscles contract in a coordinated manner to help move food through the digestive tract.
How is food moved along the asophagus?
Food is moved along the esophagus through a process called peristalsis, which involves the contraction and relaxation of muscles in the esophagus. These muscle contractions create wave-like movements that push the food towards the stomach. Additionally, gravity helps to move food downward as you swallow.
What type of cells are found in the esophagus?
COLUMNAR EPITHELIAL CELLS ARE FOUND IN THE ESOPHAGUS. THEY HELP IN THE PERISTALSIS MOVEMENT OF THE OESOPHAGUS TO MOVE THE FOOD THROUGH IT TO THE STOMACH. COLUMNAR EPITHELIAL CELLS ARE FOUND IN THE ESOPHAGUS. THEY HELP IN THE PERISTALSIS MOVEMENT OF THE OESOPHAGUS TO MOVE THE FOOD THROUGH IT TO THE STOMACH.
