peristalsis.... the reason why food travels through the esophagus into the stomach is that it is moved along by contractions of smooth muscle surrounding the esophagus. This is known as peristalsis
The function of the pharynx is to transfer food to the mouth to the esphagus and warm, and moiston and filter air before it moves into the trachea.
Peristalsis is the term used to describe the muscular waves or contractions that move food through the digestive tract. These contractions help propel the food from the esophagus to the stomach and then through the intestines for digestion and absorption of nutrients.
From the oesophagus the food moves towards the stomach. Oesophagus acts as the passage way from mouth to stomach. Stomach lies in your abdomen. The mouth is above the thorax. The gap is filled in by the oesophagus.
Food enters the mouth. The pharynx acts as a suction pump; its muscular walls draw in food. In the pharynx, the pharyngeal glands secrete mucus.
Peristalsis is the process of muscular contractions in the walls of the digestive tract that helps propel food down the gastrointestinal tract. It allows for the movement and digestion of food through the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and ultimately out of the body.
Food moves through the esophagus on its way to the stomach. It is a muscular tube that connects the mouth to the stomach and uses peristalsis to push food down.
The function of the pharynx is to transfer food to the mouth to the esphagus and warm, and moiston and filter air before it moves into the trachea.
The esophagus is the muscular tube connecting the mouth and the stomach.
Esophogas
from a birds mouth uncheawde food passes into the crop, which stores the food until it absorbs enough moisture to move on. the food enters the stomach and is parcially digested. then it moves into the muscular gizzard.

Peristalsis is the term for the waves of muscular movement that push food through the digestive system. Peristalsis is accomplished through the activity of smooth muscle.

The oesophagus
The esophagus is the muscular tube that allows for food to go from the mouth to the stomach. The trachea is the cartilagenous tube that allows air to go from the mouth to the lungs.
