Peristalsis is the process of wave-like muscular contractions that moves food down the esophagus into the stomach.
Once it is in your throat,
peristaltic action
moves it up to your stomach
The bolus, which is a mass of chewed food mixed with saliva, passes through the esophagus, which is a muscular tube that connects the mouth to the stomach.
esophagus.
Food is transformed into a small lump called a bolus through the process of chewing and mixing it with saliva in the mouth. The mechanical and chemical breakdown of food in the mouth helps form the bolus, which is then swallowed and passes through the esophagus into the stomach where further digestion occurs.
During deglutition, the bolus is propelled down the esophagus into the stomach by a series of coordinated muscle contractions called peristalsis. Once in the stomach, the bolus mixes with gastric juices and is broken down further through mechanical churning and chemical digestion.
bolus anytime dude diesel 'danger' nutkins (danger is my middle name)
The chewed up lump of food is known as a bolus.
A ball-like masticated lump of food is called a bolus. It is formed in the mouth during the process of chewing and mixing food with saliva before swallowing. The bolus helps in the smooth passage of food through the esophagus and into the stomach for further digestion.
Peristalsis. The process of peristalsis begins in the esophagus when a bolus of food is swallowed.
Hopefully, "swallowing".
esophagus
Yes, after being placed in the mouth and chewed, the food bolus is swallowed, passing through the oropharynx into the esophagus.
The incomplete posterior rings in the esophagus create a weaker structural support, which allows for the expansion of the esophagus as a food bolus passes through. This bulging helps accommodate the passage of larger food items or swallowed air, facilitating the movement of the bolus towards the stomach.
