The brain controls many hormonal and muscular processes of the digestive system. The digestive system, in turn, provides the brain with nutrients needed for its functions.
peristalsis
Peristalsis is the involuntary muscle contractions that push food through the digestive tract. The rhythmic wave-like motion helps move food through the esophagus, stomach, and intestines to aid in the digestion process. Additionally, gravity and pressure from surrounding organs also play a role in propelling food through the digestive system.
Crocodiles have a simple digestive system that includes a stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. They swallow their prey whole or in large chunks, and their powerful stomach acids help break down the food. The nutrients are absorbed in the intestines, and waste is excreted as feces.
There are two sphincters, one at the end of the esophagus / top of the stomach, and the second at the bottom of the stomach / beginning of the small intestines, which keep digestive contents moving downward through the beginning of the digestive tract.
mouth--> oesophagus--> stomach--> duodenum--> small intestine--> large intestine--> rectum--> well... its not in the body after that... a.k.a straight through the digestive system, it is only used as 'bulk' for the digestive muscles to push against to help keep food moving through the digestive system, at no point does it enter the blood as it is (mainly) indigestible 'cellulose'
The muscle responsible for moving food through the digestive system is the smooth muscle found in the walls of the gastrointestinal tract. The heart is primarily made up of cardiac muscle which is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body.
