Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The stomach is a muscular bag and it churns the food to help break it down mechanically as well as chemically. The food is then squeezed through a second sphincter into the first part of the small intestine, called the duodenum.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ridges of muscle tissue called rugae line the stomach. The stomach muscles contract periodically, churning food to enhance digestion.
Detailed explanation-3: -Peristalsis. Peristalsis is the principal mechanism of movement in the oesophagus, although it also occurs in both the stomach and gut. Continuous segments of longitudinal smooth muscle rhythmically contract and relax.
