Food Digestion? Food passes from the mouth to the esophagus to the ______ and then to the stomach?

Question

is it salivary gland?

Answer 1

When swallowing, food passes from the mouth, to the pharynx, into the esophagus, and finally the stomach.

Esophagus Stage -
"The upper oesophageal sphincter relaxes to let food past, after which various striated constrictor muscles of the pharynx as well as peristalsis and relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter sequentially push the bolus of food through the esophagus into the stomach."

Answer 2

Let me help you out with a correct answer for a change. You are looking for the structure between the esophagus and the stomach. The structure you are seeking is the lower esophageal sphincter muscle. It is the same as the cardioesophageal sphincter. This is what the food must pass before entering the stomach.

There the digestion of carbs continues and some protein digestion begins Then into small intestine where the rest of digestion and MOST of reabsorbtion happens. (lined with viili that are finger like projection that suck up the nutrients into body) Then Lrg. Intestine where water is reabsorbed and then into rectum(waste is stored) out through the anus
