The process of swallowing ensures that food goes down the esophagus. When you swallow, a series of coordinated muscle contractions called peristalsis moves the food bolus from the throat into the esophagus. Additionally, a flap of tissue called the epiglottis prevents food from entering the windpipe, directing it instead toward the esophagus. This combination of muscle action and anatomical structures ensures that food reaches the stomach efficiently.
