Where does a bolus of carbohydrates travel in the digestive system from mouth to anus?

Bolus goes down esophagus, through lower esophageal sphincter (aka, cardiac sphincter) and into stomach. (A sphincter is a circular muscle which squeezes shut or opens the tubular digestive tract). It then passes through pyloric sphincter into small intestine. The small intestine is made up first of the duodenum, then jejunum, then ileum. From ileum, bolus goes to ascending colon, then transverse colon, then descending colon. From there to rectum and then out through anus (anal sphincter) .
