the physical change in the change in food when the enters esophagus is when it has a chemical breakdown in your mouth with a mechanical breakdown the chemical breakdown is when your salivia is making the food moist the mechanical is when you chew the food so it easier for it to enter the esophagus and so the salivia can get it moist then your esophagus uses muscles to push the food down into your stomache
the food enters your esophagus
The stomach receives food from the esophagus. Once food travels through the esophagus, it enters the stomach where digestion begins.
The cardiac sphincter or aka GE junction contracts at the distal end of the esophagus. So food enters into the stomach when the cardiac sphincter is relaxed.
Food is pushed down the esophagus by a series of rhythmic muscle contractions called peristalsis. As food enters the esophagus, the muscles in the walls of the esophagus contract and relax in a coordinated manner to propel the food towards the stomach. The esophagus also has a sphincter at its lower end that opens to allow food to enter the stomach.
The esophagus is not directly involved in chemical digestion. Its main function is to transport food from the mouth to the stomach using peristaltic contractions. Chemical digestion primarily occurs in the stomach and small intestine, where enzymes break down food into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body.
The muscles in the esophagus move the food down into the stomach.
The cardiac sphincter.
When swallowing food it enters into your digestive system through your esophagus. Air that is taken into your system enters the windpipe. The epiglottis which is a flap located between the esophagus and windpipe covers the windpipe so that food does not enter it by mistake. This allows for food and air to stay separated in the digestive system.
In a frog's anatomy, the esophagus leads from the mouth to the stomach. It serves as a passageway for food that has been swallowed. The esophagus is a muscular tube that helps transport food through peristaltic movements before it enters the stomach for digestion.
Once food enters your mouth, saliva begins to break it down. When you swallow, the food moves down your esophagus to your stomach. The act of swallowing is also called deglutition.
a,ll the answers above are ratchet dont follow them they made me get a 67 percent
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.
