The Mechanisms by which food move in the GI tract?
Involuntary muscle movements along with the help of gravity help to move food from the mouth to the colon. These movements of smooth muscle is called peristalsis.
What does the peristalsis do in the digestive system?
Peristalsis keeps your food going down into the digestive system.

How does urine moves through the ureters?
Peristaltic wavesThe ureters move urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder by a mechanism known as peristalsis. Peristalsis is a wave-like series of smooth muscle contractions. The ureters have an inner lining of smooth muscle that carries out peristalsis in order to move urine to the bladder.
Does Peristalsis within the trachea help push food to the stomach?
The trachea is your windpipe, so food shouldn't go down there. However peristalsis does help push food down the Oesophagus into the stomach.
What is the part of the digestive system which uses rhythmic muscle movement?
The term 'peristalsis' refers to the transportation of material via rhythmic muscular movements. Both the esophogus and the colon (small and large intestines) utilize peristalsis. Peristalsis within the esophogus aids the transportation of food from the mouth to the stomach, while the colon functions via peristalsis to rid waste products from the body.
Does food automatically move through your digestive system?
In human beings, gravity.
