When food is ingested in the mouth, it is propelled towards the stomach then to intestines and to the anus by peristaltic movement of the muscles.

Without muscles, digestion will take couple of days to occur.

Food is propelled slowly through small and big intestine as most of the absorption of food occurs here.
