If you are referring to the digestive system, I believe this would be the pyloric sphincter. After the stomach turns dry food into a wet mass, it delivers it to the duodenum via the pyloric sphincter (muscle).
The stomach has muscles that squeeze and mix food as well as acids that break it down. The stomach, then, performs both mechanical and chemical digestion.

peristalsis
Yes, the muscles squeeze the food through the digestive system :)
The stomach, or digestive system and/or digestive tract.
Our Oesophagus' use Peristalsis to squeeze food down into our stomach. That's all I can think of! !
Most of the digestion of food occurs in the small intestine. This is where enzymes break down proteins, carbohydrates, and fats into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by the body. The small intestine is also where nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream.
A series of muscular contractions, which squeeze the alimentary canal, called peristalsis, are what moves food all the way through the alimentary canal, from beginning to end.
You mean the ESOPHAGUS. It is the muscular tube that leads down from the throat to the stomach, through which chewed food passes to be chemically dissolved in the stomach. Technically, it begins just below the area where the larynx is located, and ends at the Cardiac Sphincter. It assists the passage of food down to the stomach by a process called peristalsis, by which rings of muscle squeeze the chewed food downwards.
In order: Mouth, Asophogus, Stomach, Pancreas, Gallblader, Small Intestine, Large Intestine, Rectum, Anus. Mostly in the stomach where food is Mechanically (physically) changed when the stomach muscles squeeze the food. Chemical change also happened when the acids in the stomach separate nutrients, break down food, and kill bacteria. When the two are combined, the food turns into a soupy-like mixture called chyme, which has alot of acid in it from the stomch. I hope that's what you wanted.
The stomach stretchy muscular sac holds food.
