Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The muscular system allows for movement within the body, for example, during digestion or urination. Smooth muscles in the gastrointestinal or GI tract control digestion. The GI tract stretches from the mouth to the anus. Food moves through the digestive system with a wave-like motion called peristalsis.
Detailed explanation-2: -Once you begin swallowing, the process becomes automatic. Your brain signals the muscles of the esophagus and peristalsis begins. Lower esophageal sphincter. When food reaches the end of your esophagus, a ringlike muscle-called the lower esophageal sphincter-relaxes and lets food pass into your stomach.
